In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an image of an object captured in a geographic location. The method includes determining the geographic location associated with the image. The geographic location is represented in a map that includes one or more ambient light measurements corresponding to one or more geographic locations. The method includes using the one or more ambient light measurements corresponding to the geographic location in the map associated with the image to generate a color corrected image. The method includes determining a classification of the object using the color corrected image.

Monitoring ambient light for object detection

In one embodiment, a method includes, by a computing device of a first sensor receiving synchronization information from a controller. The synchronization information being generated based on a clock of the controller. The method also includes determining, based on the synchronization information, a first offset between a first clock of the first sensor and the clock of the controller; storing the first offset; and synchronizing, based on the stored first offset and the first clock of the first sensor, a first data capture by the first sensor with a second data capture by a second sensor. The first data capture and the second data capture being requested by the controller.

Systems and methods for synchronizing sensor capture

In particular embodiments, a computing system may receive ambient light measurements of a scene. The ambient light measurements may be generated by one or more light sensors of a vehicle. The system may receive an image captured by an optical sensor of the vehicle. The image may include color information associated with an object in a scene. The system may process the image to estimate a color associated with the object based on the ambient light measurements and the color information in the image. The system may determine the object based on the estimated color and may provide instructions to activate a safety feature in response to the determined object.
