Abstract

A system, apparatus and method for processing sensor data in a vehicle, where one or more sensors are configured to provide sensor data relating to at least one of a vehicle operating characteristic and/or a driving environment. A processing apparatus is configured to receive data from the one or more sensors. A display is configured to display a scene comprising one or more images associated with the sensor data, wherein the processing apparatus includes a probability processing module configured to process the sensor data to calculate a sensor confidence value representing an estimated accuracy for at least one of the one or more sensors, and wherein the processing apparatus includes a graphics processing module configured to process the sensor confidence value to modify the scene on the display to represent the estimated accuracy for the at least one or more of the sensors.
