Abstract:
In some examples, a processor may receive images from a camera mounted on a vehicle. The processor may generate a disparity image based on features in at least one of the images. In addition, the processor may determine at least one region in a first image of the received images that has a brightness that exceeds a brightness threshold. Further, the processor may determine at least one region in the disparity image having a level of disparity information below a disparity information threshold. The processor may determine a region of light interference based on an overlap between at least one region in the first image and at least one region in the disparity image, and may perform at least one action based on the region of light interference.
