Zusammenfassung:Example embodiments relate to taking images at certain predetermined angles in order to have consistent exposure throughout the images. An example embodiment includes a method. The method includes determining, using a lidar device, light intensity information of a surrounding environment of the lidar device. The light intensity information includes a plurality of angles within a threshold range of light exposure. The method also includes determining rotation times associated with each of the angles within the threshold range of light exposure. Further, the method includes based on the rotation times associated with each of the angles within the threshold range of light exposure, determining a plurality of target image times. In addition, the method includes capturing, by a camera system, a plurality of images at the plurality of target image times.
