Systems and methods for intelligent control of vehicle lighting to mitigate insect presence

A vehicle comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memory devices storing instructions and coupled to the one or more processors;
• and
• one or more sensors coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to:
• capture image data using the one or more sensors;
• generate, using the image data, foreground image data and background image data;
• execute a morphological operation on the image data to remove noise from the image data;
• execute, on the foreground image data and the background image data, feature extraction to identify one or more insects depicted in the image data;
• determine a first location of the one or more insects with respect to the vehicle;
• identify presence of one or more users in a vicinity of the vehicle;
• determine a second location of the one or more users with respect to the vehicle based at least in part on a second image captured using the image sensor, a geo-location of a user device, or a location of a key fob associated with the vehicle;
• and
• operate a set of lights of the vehicle based on the first location of the one or more insects and the second location of the one or more users.
