The invention relates to daylight processing for autonomous vehicle control. Systems, methods, and apparatus related to sensor data processing for a vehicle to improve operation when daylight or other light enters a sensor of the vehicle. In one method, adjustable filtering is configured for a sensor of a vehicle. In one example, an optical filter is positioned on a path of light to an image sensor of a camera. For example, filtering improves the ability to remain in adaptive cruise control when driving into direct sunlight at sunset. The optical filter may have controllable characteristics such as polarization. In one example, a controller of the vehicle is configured to automatically adjust the characteristics of the optical filter to improve image quality, thereby improving object recognition. In another example, the camera is configured with composite vision using sensors in different radiation spectra (e.g., visible light and infrared light). The composite vision may provide enhanced visual capabilities for autonomous vehicles traveling in the direction of the sun.
