Abstract
Apparatus for a motor vehicle comprises an image sensor generating non-trichromatic image data as an image pixel array covering a predetermined field of view relative to the vehicle. A color-calibration source generates at least one color reference value according to an object depicted in the non-trichromatic image data. A controller is configured to 1) associate the at least one color reference value to a set of pixels within the image pixel array, and 2) colorize the non-trichromatic image data according to the at least one color reference value to produce a colorized image. A display is configured to display the colorized image to a viewer in the vehicle.
