Abstract
An illumination source is operated to illuminate an operating environment and an optical sensor is periodically operated for a detection period to detect illumination reflected from one or more subjects within the operating environment. Upon recognizing a source of interfering pulsed illumination within the operating environment, the timing of a subsequent detection period may be varied. In this way, sensing of the interfering pulsed illumination may be averted.
