Technologies for detecting occlusions on a camera of a vehicle by a compute device are disclosed. The compute device may receive one or more images from the camera. The compute device may analyze the images using various algorithms such as optical flow calculations, blurriness detection for portions of the image, edge detection, and circular artifact detection. The analysis may be used to determine the presence of occlusions on the camera, such as water drops, mud, dirt, etc. The compute device may send a command to clean the camera and/or may use the determined presence of occlusions as part analyzing images from the camera for a driver assist system, such as by ignoring portions of the image that are occluded.
