Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for testing and validation of a cleaning system for a sensor such as a camera. A device may capture a first image of a target using the sensor, wherein the sensor is in a clean state, and wherein the target is in a line of sight of the sensor. The device may apply an obstruction to a portion of a lens of the sensor. The device may apply a cleaning system to the lens. The device may capture a post-clean image after applying the cleaning system. The device may determine a post-clean image quality score based on comparing the post clean image to the first image. The device may compare the post-clean image quality score to a validation threshold. The device may determine a validation state of the cleaning system based on the comparison.
