Abstract
A system, comprising a processor; and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to acquire a first image of a scene, acquire a second image of the scene while illuminating the scene, identify pixel blooming in a subtracted image determined by subtracting the first image from the second image, remediating the pixel blooming based on empirically determined parameters, and operate a vehicle based on the subtracted image.
Claims20
