Abstract
Examples provide a variable zoom imaging system including an image sensor, a set of illumination channels, and a current driver circuitry for driving the set of illumination channels. Each respective illumination channel includes a set of light sources and a lens, and is associated with a respective focus distance. An electronic processor is configured to focus the image sensor to an object of interest, determine a distance from the image sensor to the object of interest, determine an exposure period for the image sensor, select a subset of illumination channels to activate based at least on the distance from the image sensor to the object of interest, and capture a first image of the object of interest using the image sensor by sequentially activating and deactivating each selected illumination channel of the subset for first respective time frames within the exposure period.
