Claim 15:
16. A computer system that structures emitted light to be undetectable to certain types of external light detection systems, said computer system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one hardware storage device that stores instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the computer system to:
cause a light emitting device to emit light into an environment, wherein the light emitting device causes the emitted light to have a predetermined roll off rate;
cause the light emitting device to set an intensity of the emitted light to a level that results in the emitted light being undetectable to said certain types of external light detection systems when those certain types of external light detection systems are at least a known distance away from the light emitting device, the known distance being computed based on the roll off rate; and
trigger generation of an image of the environment while the light emitting device is emitting the light into the environment.
