1. An apparatus comprising:
an interface configured to receive pixel data corresponding to an exterior view from a vehicle; and
a processor configured to (i) process said pixel data arranged as video frames, (ii) perform computer vision operations on said video frames to (a) detect objects in said video frames and (b) determine characteristics of said objects, (iii) analyze said characteristics with respect to said vehicle to determine visual indicators to predict an air quality outside of said vehicle and (iv) generate a control signal in response to an air quality value, wherein
(a) said control signal is configured to toggle an activation of an air recirculation feature of said vehicle when said air quality value reaches a threshold value,
(b) said visual indicators are used to adjust said air quality value,
(c) said visual indicators comprise a plurality of types of factors extracted from said characteristics of said objects that provide evidence for determining said air quality value,
(d) said processor is configured to compile said plurality of types of factors and apply statistical weighting to said plurality of types of factors to determine said air quality value, and
(e) said plurality of types of factors comprise a combination of (i) a color of exhaust smoke, (ii) a density of said exhaust smoke, (iii) a distance to said exhaust smoke, (iv) a movement speed of said vehicle and (v) whether said vehicle is determined to be in a vehicle queue.
