US Patent 11064131 Systems and methods for proactive flicker mitigation

Vision sensing systems and methods that mitigate flicker and associated artifacts. The system includes a camera module that controls operation of a camera onboard a mobile platform and generates camera data therefrom, wherein the camera data comprises a sequential plurality of frames An exposure lock module is configured to: communicate with the camera module to receive the camera data; analyze the camera data to identify a blackout; utilize machine learning to quantify a frequency of blackouts in the camera data; generate a vision sensor command for anticipating future blackouts as a function of the frequency of blackouts; and supply the vision sensor command to the camera module. An enhanced exposure control module utilizes the vision sensor command to mitigate flicker and associated artifacts, thereby providing image stabilized enhanced frames.
