Claim 2:
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to verify that the object exists, based on at least the dynamic NIR range data and the temperature gradient, by:
detecting the object, based on the dynamic NIR data;
determining the temperature gradient by:
determining an average rate of change of an amount of thermal radiation emitted from the object over the time period;
determining an average rate of change of an amount of thermal radiation emitted from the background around the object over the time period; and
comparing the average rates of change of the amounts of thermal radiation emitted from the object and from the background around the object over the time period; and

verifying that the object exists, based on a result of the comparing indicating that the average rate of change of the amount of thermal radiation emitted from the object over the time period has decreased, relative to the average rate of change of the amount of thermal radiation emitted from the background.
