Abstract
A method includes receiving first dimensions of an electrochromic device and second dimensions of one or more obstructions of the electrochromic device. The method further includes generating, based on the first dimensions and the second dimensions, an obstruction map that indicates at least one of an obstructed portion or an unobstructed portion of the electrochromic device. The method further includes determining, based the obstruction map, a first desired tinting state of the electrochromic device. The method further includes causing a current tinting state of the electrochromic device to correspond to the first desired tinting state.
