Zusammenfassung:	A system for capturing and processing an image in a camera system for a vehicle includes a camera module with a lens and a sensor, an image signal processor, a control unit, and an infrared elimination mechanism. The system may include at least one infrared illuminator. In normal light conditions, the infrared portion of the light is not used. The system may include an IR-cut filter disposed within the camera module that is moveable between a filtered position where infrared light is blocked before reaching an RGB sensor in normal light conditions and an unfiltered position where all of the light reaches the RGB sensor in low light conditions. The system may include an RGB-IR sensor without a filter, and the infrared portion captured at the sensor is ignored in normal light conditions and, in low light conditions, the infrared portion is used.
