First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for operating a wiper rotatably disposed on a sensor enclosure that encloses one or more cameras, the method comprising:
- receiving camera information comprising a field of view for each of the one or more cameras and indicating whether each of the one or more cameras is actively capturing image data;
receiving, for the wiper, rotation speed and corresponding location information on the sensor enclosure; and
adjusting the rotation speed for the wiper based on the received camera information such that the wiper is present between the fields of views of cameras that are actively capturing the image data.

Abstract
A computer implemented method for operating a wiper system of a sensor enclosure. The wiper system can be configured to receive a camera operating information from one or more cameras. The one or more cameras can be determined to be in an exposure mode based on the camera operating information. A first speed of one or more wipers can be adjusted such that the one or more wipers are not in field of views of the one or more cameras while the one or more cameras are in the exposure mode.
