Abstract
An autonomous vehicle (AV) can include a set of sensors generating sensor data corresponding to a surrounding environment of the AV. The AV can further include a control system that determines imminent lighting conditions for one or more cameras of the set of sensors, and executes a set of configurations for the one or more cameras to preemptively compensate for the imminent lighting conditions.
Claims20
An autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising:
- a set of sensors generating sensor data corresponding to a surrounding environment of the AV;
- a control system comprising one or more processors executing an instruction set, causing the control system to:
- determine imminent lighting conditions for one or more cameras of the set of sensors;
- and
- execute a set of configurations for the one or more cameras to preemptively compensate for the imminent lighting conditions.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an autonomous vehicle (AV) cause the one or more processors to:
- determine imminent lighting conditions for one or more cameras of a set of sensors of the AV, the set of sensors generating sensor data corresponding to a surrounding environment of the AV;
- and
- execute a set of configurations for the one or more cameras to preemptively compensate for the imminent lighting conditions.
A computer-implemented method of preemptively configuring sensors of an autonomous vehicle (AV), the method being performed by one or more processors of the AV and comprising:
- determining imminent lighting conditions for one or more cameras of a set of sensors of the AV, the set of sensors generating sensor data corresponding to a surrounding environment of the AV;
- and
- executing a set of configurations for the one or more cameras to preemptively compensate for the imminent lighting conditions.
