Electrostatic debris removal for camera lenses

An apparatus comprising:

• a cover for a camera sensor;
• a first conductive material configured to move near a first side of said cover;
• a second conductive material configured to move near a second side of said cover;
• and
• a power source configured to apply an electrical charge to said first conductive material and said second conductive material, wherein
• (i) said electrical charge applied to said first conductive material and said second conductive material is configured to generate an electric field between said first conductive material and said second conductive material,
• (ii) said first conductive material implements a first electrode for said electric field and said second conductive material implements a second electrode for said electric field,
• (iii) said electric field is configured to apply a charge to a plurality of debris on said cover, and
• (iv) said charge applied to said plurality of debris is configured to attract said plurality of debris from said cover to said second conductive material.
