Systems, methods, and apparatus for correcting desaturation of images with transformed color values by appling a matrix

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one processor configured to:
• receive first color values of a first image from a first image capture device, wherein the first color values represent colors in a first color space, and wherein the first image capture device is configured to be coupled to a vehicle;
• apply a first transformation matrix to the first color values to generate first transformed color values of the first image in a particular color space;
• apply a desaturation matrix to the first transformed color values to generate first desaturated color values of the first image, wherein the desaturation matrix includes a plurality of coefficients, and wherein a sum of the coefficients for each column of the desaturation matrix equals 1;
• and
• provide the first desaturated color values of the first image for rendering on a display device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving first color values of a first image from a first image capture device, wherein the first color values represent colors in a first color space, and wherein the first image capture device is configured to be coupled to a vehicle;
• applying a first transformation matrix to the first color values to generate first transformed color values of the first image in a particular color space;
• applying a desaturation matrix to the first transformed color values to generate first desaturated color values of the first image, wherein the desaturation matrix includes a plurality of coefficients, and wherein a sum of the coefficients for each column of the desaturation matrix equals 1;
• and
• providing the first desaturated color values of the first image for rendering on a display device.
