AUTOMATIC CONDITION-BASED LENS CLEANING SYSTEM

Typically, when utilizing sensors or cameras for autonomous or remote-control operations in dirty environments, lenses are susceptible to dirt, dust, debris, and water collection on the lens that may lead to poor readings or visibility. Accordingly, an automatic condition-based lens cleaning system, comprising: a camera mounted on a loader and including a camera lens; a temperature sensor associated with the camera and configured to obtain temperature information; a lens cleaning device coupled to the camera; and a controller configured to: determine, based on the temperature information, whether an environmental temperature satisfies a temperature threshold that is associated with a high temperature application; and actuate the lens cleaning device to clean the camera lens based on determining that the environmental temperature satisfies the temperature threshold is disclosed.
