Claim:
1. A system to control equipment used in an oilfield environment, the system comprising: an imaging assembly to determine feedback data based on measurement data obtained from a plurality of remote imaging systems controllable to process different respective optical fields-of-view in the oilfield environment; a flushing assembly controllable to project fluid momentarily, when the remote imaging systems are capturing imaging data for the different respective optical fields-of-view, to clear the optical fields-of-view of obscuring fluid in the oilfield environment, the momentary projection of fluid being repeatable at times when the remote imaging systems are subsequently capturing imaging data, and the obscuring fluid flows back into the fields-of-view after the momentary projection of fluid; and a controller to process the feedback data to determine a control signal to control operation of at least one of (1) the plurality of remote imaging systems or (2) the flushing assembly.
