Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to implement a vehicle camera lens cleaning systems that selectively utilize different cleaning modes for the vehicle camera lenses based upon various conditions. The different cleaning modes may be used on a per vehicle camera basis to provide specific types of cleaning to each of the vehicle cameras. The cleaning modes may include the use of air and/or liquid cleaning, which may be provided to each of the vehicle cameras independently.

Abstract: A sensor cleaning control device and method are based on recognition of surrounding objects around a vehicle. The control device and method are applied to a vehicle and consider an object recognized in scattering areas where contamination occurs due to a fluid sprayed from a nozzle to clean blockages or contamination on sensing portion covers provided at sensors, perform cleaning delay using the washer fluid through nozzle delay spraying by a controller, perform air cleaning not using the washer liquid through nozzle air spraying, and do not perform the cleaning through nozzle non-spraying due to replacement of data of other sensor so that the contamination of the object that is contaminated due to the sensor cleaning is reduced or prevented.

Abstract: A system includes a camera assembly designed to capture image data at a plurality of focal lengths and a computer in communication with the camera assembly. The computer has a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive first image data captured by the camera assembly at a first focal length and receive second image data captured by the camera assembly at a second focal length, the second focal length greater than the first focal length. The instructions include instructions to actuate a cleaning system based on the first image data captured at the first focal length and the second image data captured at the second focal length.
