Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a vision sensor are provided. The apparatus and corresponding method are configured to predict an expected point, on a traveling path of a host vehicle, at which an illumination variation greater than or equal to a threshold is expected to occur, and determine whether the host vehicle is located within a threshold distance. The apparatus and corresponding method are also configured to control a vision sensor in the host vehicle based on the expected illumination variation in response to the host vehicle being located within the threshold distance.
