Claim 19:
20. A method for providing a light source for a vehicle camera, comprising the steps of:
generating pixel data corresponding to an exterior view from a vehicle using a camera;
generating light for said exterior view;
processing said pixel data arranged as video frames;
performing computer vision operations on said video frames to detect objects in said video frames; and
generating a control signal, wherein
(a) said objects and said light detected provide data for data to enable autonomous control of said vehicle to perform a low-speed maneuver of said vehicle,
(b) said control signal adjusts characteristics of said light generated by an illumination device,
(c) said characteristics of said light comprise a textured pattern of said light,
(d) said characteristics of said light are adjusted in response to said objects detected by a processor that performs said computer vision operations, and
(e) said computer vision operations comprise analyzing changes to individual shapes of said textured pattern of said light to facilitate a detection of said objects during said low-speed maneuver.
