1. An HDR system comprising:
an HDR camera comprising a plurality of image sensors coupled to a processing device, wherein the HDR camera is operable to stream pixel values from each of the plurality of image sensors in a frame-independent manner through a pipeline on the processing device, wherein the pipeline includes
a synchronization module that synchronizes the pixel values, and
a kernel operation that identifies saturated pixel values and
a merge module to merge the pixel values to produce a real-time HDR video; and
a processing system configured to communicate with the HDR camera and a control system of a vehicle, wherein the processing system is operable to determine, based on the HDR video, a characteristic of a feature in the vehicle's environment and to issue to the control system an instruction that directs a change in the operation of the vehicle based on the characteristic.
