Abstract
A system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor having one or more modules. The modules include instructions that cause the processor to receive first sensor information from a first sensor and second sensor information of a shared field of view. The instructions cause the processor to detect one or more objects within the shared field of view using the first sensor information and the second sensor information. When one or more discrepancies are identified between the one or more objects detected using the first sensor information and the one or more objects detected using the second sensor information are detected, the instructions that cause the processor to determine that the first sensor or the second sensor needs cleaning.
