This disclosure describes the use of optical sensors to detect and characterize the state of traffic lights to assist with the navigation of autonomous vehicles. In particular, a specific optical configuration is shown that includes both a fixed-exposure sensor and an auto-exposure sensor. Imagery from the two sensor types can be combined to more accurately characterize the state of traffic signals at any particular intersection. Systems and methods for analyzing only select regions of the imagery captured by the traffic light detection system are also described.
