Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for configuration of optical sensor devices in vehicles based on thermal data. To manage the temperature of an optical sensor device, temperature data describing the current temperature of the optical sensor is used to determine whether the current temperature meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature. If the current temperature meets or exceeds the threshold temperature, the optical sensor device may be configured into a modified operating mode to reduce the current temperature of the optical sensor device. For example, the operating mode of the optical sensor device may be modified to terminate one or more processes, reduce a frame rate at which image/video data is captured, and the like.
