A camera system is described, particularly for a vehicle, the camera system having at least: a camera which has an image sensor and a filter mask, and a control and evaluation device which receives image signals output by the image sensor, the image sensor having an array of sensor pixels outputting pixel signals, and the filter mask having an array of filters which are disposed in front of the sensor pixels and have different wavelength-selective transmission response, a portion of the filters being attenuation filters, and sensor pixels, in front of which in each case one of the attenuation filters is disposed, outputting attenuation pixel signals. The attenuation filters advantageously attenuate white light more strongly than the other filters of the filter mask; in particular, they are blue pixels.

Camera system, especially for a vehicle, and method for ascertaining image information of a signal source pulsed as a function of time

A method for detecting variable message traffic signs for a vehicle, includes: reading in a vehicle position, comparing the vehicle position to position information of at least one variable message traffic sign in order to determine a presence of a variable message traffic sign in a predefined area around the vehicle and in response to provide a proximity information, and varying a detection instruction of information of a variable message traffic sign in response to the proximity information to detect a variable message traffic sign.
