Abstract
A computing device receives calibration images acquired by an image sensor in the presence of infrared light emitted by an infrared light source and/or in the presence of a variable transmissivity screen between the image sensor and items behind the variable transmissivity screen. The computing device analyzes the calibration images to determine whether the image sensor is saturated and/or whether features of the items are discernible in the calibration images. When the image sensor is not saturated and/or the features are discernible, the computing device controls the infrared light source to adjust settings of the infrared light source and/or the variable transmissivity screen example to find settings where the image source is saturated and/or the features are not discernible. Such settings may be used in a block mode to prevent consumer cameras from acquiring images of the items.
