Abstract
Systems and methods to track an object within an operating room with a camera unit. The camera unit includes a first optical sensor with sensing elements to sense light in a near-infrared spectrum and a second optical sensor to sense light in a visible light spectrum. A controller is in communication with the first and second optical sensors. The controller obtains, from the second optical sensor, data related to the object within the operating room. The controller modifies control of the sensing elements of the first optical sensor based on the data of the object obtained by the second optical sensor.
