Abstract

In one example, a device includes an image sensor and a light source positioned relative to the image sensor so that light from the light source is reflected away from the image sensor by first objects that are within a field of view of the image sensor, the first objects being positioned less than a selected distance from the image sensor. In an example, the device further includes at least one processor and a data storage device storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the device to acquire, with the image sensor, at least one image of a scene based on reflections of the light from the light source, the at least one image depicting a second object but not the first objects, the second object being positioned further from the image sensor than the selected distance.
