1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a control module associated with a vehicle, image data from an imaging system onboard the vehicle, the image data being captured using an initial frame rate at the imaging system;
obtaining, by the control module, current vehicle state information associated with the vehicle;
determining, by the control module, a representative exposure setting for the imaging system based at least in part on the current vehicle state information;
determining, by the control module, an estimated illuminance of a surrounding environment of the vehicle based at least in part on the image data and the representative exposure setting;
automatically configuring, by the control module, the imaging system for a second frame rate different from the initial frame rate based on the estimated illuminance; and
thereafter:
obtaining subsequent image data from the imaging system captured using the second frame rate;
providing a graphical user interface comprising a graphical representation of the subsequent image data on a display device associated with the vehicle; and
adjusting a display characteristic of the graphical user interface over a period of time after automatically configuring the imaging system for the second frame rate.
