Exterior camera systems of an aircraft include an image sensor configured to capture image data and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to determine a contrast of at least a portion of the captured image data; evaluate whether the contrast is less than a threshold contrast level; and output, in response to the contrast being less than the threshold contrast level, an initiate heating command configured to initiate heating of a camera window positioned between the image sensor and an exterior of the aircraft.
