The camera is configured to capture an image frame. Each of the lights is configured to illuminate a region within the image frame. The electronic processor is configured to capture via the camera, while modulating an output of the plurality of lights, a first image frame and determine, using the image sensor, an object of interest within the first image frame. The electronic processor is further configured to identify a region of interest in which the object of interest is located based on the first image frame, identify, based on the region of interest, a subset of lights from the plurality of lights, and activate the subset of lights.
