Abstract
An optical imaging device for imaging a biometric input object is provided. The optical imaging device includes an optical sensor having an array of sensing elements. The optical sensor is configured to first read a first subset of sensing elements in the array of sensing elements; analyze the first read of the first subset of sensing elements to determine an ambient light condition; first alter an operating point of the optical imaging device based on the ambient light condition; and image the input object.
