Techniques for determining a degraded state associated with a sensor are discussed herein. For example, a sensor associated with vehicle may captured data of an environment. A portion of the data may represent a portion of the vehicle. Data associated with a region of interest can be determined based on a calibration associated with the sensor. For example, in the context of image data, image coordinates may be used to determine a region of interest, while in the context of lidar data, a beam and/or azimuth can be used to determine a region of interest. A data metric can be determined for data in the region of interest, and an action can be determined based on the data metric. For example, the action can include cleaning a sensor, scheduling maintenance, reducing a confidence associated with the data, or slowing or stopping the vehicle.
