A method for employing sensors of a robotic vehicle may include capturing a current image of a reference marker via a camera disposed on a robotic vehicle and comparing at least one property of the reference marker in the current image to a corresponding known 5 property. The method may further include determining a current lighting condition classification based on a result of the comparing, and making at least one adjustment to a sensor of a sensor network of the robotic vehicle based on the current lighting condition classification.
