1. A system for displaying a driving scene to an operator or passenger in a vehicle, the system comprising:
a first sensor having a field of view and facing in the forward direction of the vehicle and capturing images of the driving scene;
a second sensor for taking measurements of the environment external to the vehicle;
a processor that receives the images from the first sensor, the measurements from the second sensor and applies noise filtering to the received images, the noise filtering at least partially removing occlusions from the captured images of the driving scene received from the first sensor related to a weather condition;
a display that receives the filtered images from the processor after application of the filtering operation and displays the filtered images of the driving scene; and
wherein the noise filtering applied by the processor comprises treating portions of said captured images corresponding to occlusions as electronic noise, generating a statistical model of the electronic noise, and modifying filtering parameters based on the statistical model to remove occlusions from the captured images.
