/Methods And Systems For Measuring Sensor Visibility
Abstract

Provided are methods for methods and systems for measuring sensor visibility, which can include obtaining sensor data associated with an autonomous vehicle and determining a blockage parameter indicative of a blockage of a sensor based on a comparison of the sensor data with secondary data. Some methods described also include controlling an operation of an autonomous vehicle based on the blockage parameter. Systems and computer program products are also provided.
