Abstract

A camera image cleaning system of an automobile vehicle includes a camera generating a camera image of a vehicle environment. A processor having a memory executes a control logic to convert the camera image into a grayscale image having multiple image pixels. A convolution equation is retrieved from the memory and is solved to find derivations of the grayscale image defining changes of pixel intensity between consecutive or neighbor ones of the multiple image pixels of the grayscale image. A magnitude and an orientation of the multiple pixels is computed by the processor and used to differentiate weak ones of the image pixels from strong ones of the image pixels.
