The present disclosure is directed to an autonomous vehicle having a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system includes an image processing system. The image processing system receives an image that includes a light indicator. The light indicator includes an illuminated component. The image processing system determines a color of the illuminated component of the light indicator and an associated confidence level of the determination of the color of the illuminated component. The image processing system also determines a shape of the illuminated component of the light indicator and an associated confidence level of the determination of the shape of the illuminated component. The determined confidence levels represent an estimated accuracy of the determinations of the shape and color. Additionally, the image processing system provides instructions executable by a computing device to control the autonomous vehicle based on at least one of the determined confidence levels exceeding a threshold value.
