Abstract
The disclosure relates to assessing operation of a camera. In one instance, a volume of space corresponding to a first vehicle in an environment of a second vehicle may be identified using sensor data generated by a LIDAR system of the second vehicle. An image captured by a camera of the second vehicle may be identified. The camera may have an overlapping field of view of the LIDAR system at a time when the sensor data was generated. An area of the image corresponding to the volume of space may be identified and processed in order to identify a vehicle light. The operation of the camera may be assessed based on the processing.
