  • Publication number: 20230406268
    Abstract: A self-cleaning sensor system of a motor vehicle includes an object sensor having a lens surface facing a region located external to the motor vehicle. The object sensor generates a signal associated with an image or a video of the region. The system further includes multiple lens treatment devices for applying remedies for removing an obscurity formed on the lens surface. The system further includes a computer having one or more processors and a computer readable medium storing instructions. The processor is programmed to determine a classification of the obscurity, in response to the processor receiving the signal from the object sensor. The processor is further programmed to generate an actuation signal, and the associated lens treatment device applies the remedy, in response to the associated lens treatment device receiving the actuation signal from the processor.
