Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving, from an image-capture device coupled to a first vehicle, an image of a field of view of the first vehicle, wherein the image-capture device is configured to capture an image with a short exposure to emphasize objects having a brightness above a threshold; determining a bounding area within the image including a depiction of a second vehicle; identifying a first group of pixels in the image based on a first color of the first group of pixels, wherein the first group of pixels is located within a region of the bounding area; identifying a second group of pixels in the image based on a second color of the second group of pixels, wherein the second group of pixels is located within the bounding area; determining a correlation between an intensity of the first color of the first group of pixels and an intensity of the second color of the second group of pixels; determining, based on the correlation, a likelihood that the second vehicle has an active indicator signal; and providing instructions to control, using a computing device, the first vehicle based at least on the likelihood that the second vehicle has an active indicator signal.
