Abstract
An autonomy computing system is configured to receive a first temperature measurement at a first time tand a second temperature measurement at a second time tmeasured proximate a lens surface for a camera sensor using a first temperature sensor; receive a third temperature measurement at the first time tand a fourth temperature measurement at the second time tmeasured using a second temperature sensor for ambient air of a vehicle; compute a first change of temperature between the second temperature measurement and the first temperature measurement, and a second change of temperature between the fourth temperature measurement and the third temperature measurement; and in response to determining that the first change of temperature is greater than the second change of temperature by a predetermined threshold value, activate a heating element in proximity of the camera sensor to reduce presence of a liquid particle at the lens surface.
