A system for detecting a road surface includes a processor programmed to identify, in a vehicle sensor field of view, environment features including a sky, a road surface, a road shoulder, based on map data and data received from the one or more vehicle sensors, upon determining a low confidence in identifying an area of the field of view to be a road surface or sky, to receive a polarimetric image, and to determine, based on the received polarimetric image, whether the identified area is a mirage phenomenon, a wet road surface, or the sky. The low confidence is determined upon determining that a road surface has a vanishing edge, a road lane marker is missing, or an anomalous object is present.
