Claim 10:
11. A mower, comprising:
a drive system including one or more motors for propulsion and maneuvering;
one or more blades for mowing;
one or more cameras for capturing one or more images; and
one or more processors configured to:
generate a non-grass value by applying an image recognition algorithm to the one or more images;
instruct the drive system to autonomously adjust a velocity of current movement for the mower in response to determining that the non-grass value is greater than or equal to a mowing threshold;
determine a trigger rate that indicates how often the non-grass value is greater than or equal to the mowing threshold within a predefined period of time;
decrease the mowing threshold by a decrement in response to determining that the trigger rate is lower than a lower threshold rate; and
increase the mowing threshold by an increment in response to determining that the trigger rate is greater than an upper threshold rate.
