Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
a camera to capture a plurality of images; and
one or more processors comprising processing circuitry to:
identify candidate blocked regions in the plurality of images, at least one candidate blocked region corresponding to a blockage caused in a field-of-view of the camera,
determine whether to maintain or create a region tracker in a blockage region map for tracking the at least one candidate blocked region based at least on relationships between the at least one candidate blocked region and others candidate blocked regions,
determine camera blockage information based at least on the region tracker, and
in response to a determination that the camera blockage information indicates that camera blockage is above a predetermined blockage threshold, perform one or more operations using the system and based at least on the camera blockage information.
