Systems and methods for locating a retroreflective object in a digital image

Systems and methods are disclosed for locating a retroreflective object in a digital image and/or identifying a feature of the retroreflective object in the digital image. In certain environmental conditions, e.g. on a sunny day, or when the retroreflective material is damaged or soiled, it may be more challenging to locate the retroreflective object in the digital image and/or to identify a feature of the object in the digital image. The systems and methods disclosed herein may be particularly suited for object location and/or feature identification in situations in which there is a strong source of ambient light (e.g. on a sunny day) and/or when the retroreflective material on the object is damaged or soiled.
