Abstract
The various embodiments herein relate to imaging devices and systems that capture an image of a target object and separately capture light from the light source illuminating the target object to compensate for inconsistent lighting of that object. Some systems have scene cameras to capture the images of the target objects and a separate light capturing camera to capture the light from the light source. Other embodiments relate to a single camera capturing an image of the target object while simultaneously capturing light from the light source.
