Abstract
Global and local light detection techniques in optical sensor systems are described. In one or more implementations, a global lighting value is generated that describes a global lighting level for a plurality of optical sensors based on a plurality of inputs received from the plurality of optical sensors. An illumination map is generated that describes local lighting conditions of respective ones of the plurality of optical sensors based on the plurality of inputs received from the plurality of optical sensors. Object detection is performed using an image captured using the plurality of optical sensors along with the global lighting value and the illumination map.
