Abstract: Vision systems for autonomous machines and methods of using same during machine localization are provided. Exemplary systems and methods may reduce computing resources needed to perform vision-based localization by selecting the most appropriate camera from two or more cameras, and optionally selecting only a portion of the selected camera's field of view, from which to perform vision-based location correction. Other embodiments may provide camera lens coverings that maintain optical clarity while operating within debris-filled environments.

Abstract: Autonomous machine (100) navigation techniques include using simulation to configure camera (133) capture parameters. A method may include capturing image data of a scene, generating irradiance image data, determining at least one test camera capture parameter, determining a simulated scene parameter, and generating at least one updated camera capture parameter. Image data for camera capture configuration may be captured while the autonomous machine is moving. Camera (133) captures parameters may be used to capture images while the autonomous machine (100) is slowed or stopped, particularly in lowlight conditions.
