Claim 17:
18. An imaging device comprising:
an image sensor having an array of red, green, blue, and infrared pixels that respectively produce red, green, blue, and infrared image signals for an image;
a dual-band filter having visible light and near-infrared light pass bands that filters light incident on the image sensor; and
processing circuitry configured to generate a tone-mapped color image based on the image,
to add markings to a portion of the tone-mapped color image that indicate infrared information,
and to output the tone-mapped color image containing the added markings that indicate the infrared information,
wherein the processing circuitry comprises hue angle determination circuitry and a standard color processing pipeline coupled between the image sensor and hue angle determination circuitry.
