Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for improved camera color calibration. An example method may involve capturing a first wavelength emitted by a first type of traffic light. The example method may also involve determining, based on the first wavelength, a first color value associated with the wavelength emitted by the first type of traffic light. The example method may also involve capturing, by a first camera, a first image, video, or real-time feed of a first portion of a test target, the first portion of the test target including a first light color that is based on the first color value. The example method may also involve determining, based on the first image, video, or real-time feed of the first portion of a test target, a second color value output by the camera. The example method may also involve determining, based on a comparison between the first color value and the second color value, that a difference exists between the first color value and the second color value. The example method may also involve adjusting, based on the detection that a difference exists between the first color value and the second color value, at least one of: a property of the camera or signal processing associated with the camera.
