Systems and methods for semantic map-based adaptive auto-exposure

A system comprising:

• one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors, the one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the system to:
• receive sensor data of an environment of the vehicle generated by one or more sensors of the vehicle, the sensors comprising a camera;
• identify, based on the sensor data, one or more objects in a field of view of the camera and one or more object types that correspond to the one or more objects;
• determine one or more target histograms that correspond to the one or more object types;
• generate a processed image based on an image captured by the camera, wherein the processed image has a histogram based on the one or more target histograms;
• and
• use the processed image to determine state information associated with the one or more objects.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving sensor data of an environment of the vehicle generated by one or more sensors of the vehicle, the sensors comprising a camera;
• identifying, based on the sensor data, one or more objects in a field of view of the camera and one or more object types that correspond to the one or more objects;
• determining one or more target histograms that correspond to the one or more object types;
• generating a processed image based on an image captured by the camera, wherein the processed image has a histogram based on the one or more target histograms;
• and
• using the processed image to determine state information associated with the one or more objects.
