I am afraid that I didn't give enough information at the first time...

Our client develops special hardware for image recognition. Input camera is
mounted on a car. This hardware can recognize the shape of the road, the shape
of the car ahead of a driver in real-time. They use monochrome cameras for some
reason at this time.

They have to use a lot of real images for improving their hardware. But
preparation of real images takes much time. So they asked us to simulate their
monochrome camera images by using 3-D CG.
