1. A method, comprising:
operating a sensor block that comprises an image sensor, a lens, and one or more filters in a first mode that comprises a first configuration of the one or more filters that allows an image sensor to receive light inputs via the one or more filters and the lens;
transmitting an electrical signal from a controller to the one or more filters in response to a user input or operation condition communicated to the controller; and
operating, based at least in part on the electrical signal from the controller, the sensor block in a second mode that comprises a second configuration of the one or more filters that inhibits the image sensor from receiving light inputs via the one or more filters and the lens, wherein the one or more filters include a first polarizer, a second polarizer, a third polarizer, and a fourth polarizer configured to polarize the light inputs, wherein the first polarizer, the second polarizer, the third polarizer, and the fourth polarizer are configured in a stack.
