Abstract
A system and methods for performing focus tuning of an imaging system. The method includes an image sensor capturing a first image of a focus triggering marker. A processor identifies the focus triggering marker in the first image and responsive to identifying the focus triggering marker the system enters a configuration mode and provides a time delay. After passage of the time delay, the system executes a focusing operation to focus the imaging assembly including determining a focus value based on one or more images captured in the configuration and after the time delay. A controller sets a focal distance of a tunable optical element according to the determined focus value. The imaging sensor then captures one or more images with the focal distance of the tunable optical element set to the determined focus value.
