A vehicular vision system includes a rear backup camera and a controller having an image processor. A video display screen is disposed in the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle. With the vehicular vision system operating in a standard viewing mode, image data captured by the rear backup camera is processed to provide video images representative of a standard view rearward of the vehicle that is within the field of view of the rear backup camera. With the vehicular vision system operating in a cross-traffic viewing mode, image data captured by the rear backup camera is processed at the image processor to provide video images derived from the processed captured image data that are representative of a wider angle view rearward of the vehicle that has a wider angle view than the standard view rearward of the vehicle.

Embodiments relate to processing of pixels captured by a quadra image sensor. A quadra image sensor includes a plurality of pixel tiles, each having a plurality of pixels corresponding to the same color. A lens shading correction (LSC) circuit receives, for each of a plurality of colors, a set of gain tables. Each gain table corresponds to a different channel associated with the color. Each gain table includes a set of gain values, each associated with a location. The LSC circuit determines a pixel gain value for each pixel in a pixel tile and scales the pixels in the pixel tile based on the determined pixel gain values.

An imaging system and a method of creating composite images are provided. The imaging system includes one or more lens assemblies coupled to a sensor. When reflected light from an object enters the imaging system, incident light on the metalens filter systems creates filtered light, which is turned into composite images by the corresponding sensors. Each metalens filter system focuses the light into a specific wavelength, creating the metalens images. The metalens images are sent to the processor, wherein the processor combines the metalens images into one or more composite images. The metalens images are combined into a composite image, and the composite image has reduced chromatic aberrations.
