A method for outputting a control signal can include receiving image data associated with an image captured by an image capture means, determining a visibility condition about a vehicle by analysing at least a portion of the image data to determine one or more edges in the image, and outputting a control signal based on the analysis, the control signal for controlling an operation of a vehicle system of the vehicle. The method may be used to detect the presence of a foggy environment whereby the presence of fog reduces the number of detectable edges in an image.
