Abstract
A method for employing sensors of a robotic vehicle may include capturing a current image of a reference marker via a camera disposed on a robotic vehicle and comparing at least one property of the reference marker in the current image to a corresponding known 5 property. The method may further include determining a current lighting condition classification based on a result of the comparing, and making at least one adjustment to a sensor of a sensor network of the robotic vehicle based on the current lighting condition classification.
Claims22
A robotic vehicle comprising:
- a chassis supporting one or more functional components configured to execute a lawn care function;
- a sensor network comprising one or more sensors configured to detect conditions proximate to the robotic vehicle;
- and
- processing circuitry configurable to cause:
- capturing a current image of a reference marker via a camera disposed on a robotic vehicle;
- comparing at least one property of the reference marker in the current image to a corresponding known property;
- determining a current lighting condition classification based on a result of the comparing;
- and
- making at least one adjustment to a sensor of a sensor network of the robotic vehicle based on the current lighting condition classification.
