Abstract
A method, for operating an indicator light mounted to an exterior of a work machine, includes receiving, by a controller, a digital input image of an environment surrounding the work machine from an image capturing device. Also, the method includes processing, by the controller, the digital input image to determine an ambient light intensity of the environment. In addition, the method includes generating, by the controller, based on the determined ambient light intensity of the environment, one or more control signals to correspondingly adjust at least one attribute of light output by the indicator light.
