Abstract:
A system and method that provides adaptive IR illumination for a camera. In some implementations, IR illumination adapts to the objects in a scene being monitored and IR illumination adaptation may be implemented in conjunction with automatic exposure and other exposure adjustment methods. Some implementations include: illuminating a scene using a first IR illumination power; capturing a first image of the scene with a camera; and determining whether a first region of the first image is underexposed or overexposed. When the first region is underexposed, the scene is illuminated at a second power level greater than the first illumination power and a second image is captured. When the first region is overexposed, the scene is illuminated at a third power level that is less than the first illumination power and a third image is captured. The operations are repeated until scene illumination is satisfactory.

Claim (Index 18):
The computer readable storage medium of  claim 16 , the one or more instructions further comprising instructions for:\n in combination with adjustment of the power of the IR illuminator, adjusting one or more of the camera's imaging settings, including frame rate, sensor gain, aperture, and exposure time, to compensate for the overexposure or the underexposure.
