Abstract
Abstract: Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are increasingly being equipped in modern vehicles to provide safety warnings and autonomous functions. Cameras are a key component in ADAS which collects critical environmental information as inputs. Similar to human vision, cameras suffer performance degradation in adverse weather conditions. The impacts of precipitation, such as raindrops on camera lenses, cause blurring and obstruction of camera vision, which subsequently affects ADAS performance. The relationships between camera image quality, object detection accuracy, and surface wettability of camera lenses are investigated for different driving-in rain conditions. The goal is to link camera performance with ADAS performance from a practical perspective. Moreover, the use of hydrophilic and hydrophobic camera lenses is explored to provide insights into material selection when designing camera lenses for ADAS. The rain characteristics perceived by a moving vehicle at different driving speeds are simulated using a patent pending rain simulation system implemented into a wind tunnel. It is found that droplet characteristics, such as size, shape, and motion, can impact the camera image quality and, subsequently, object detection accuracy. The results suggest that the use of hydrophobic camera lenses promotes better performance over hydrophilic lenses in most cases, while object detection capability is restored more effectively on the hydrophilic lens when a water film layer is formed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
