Abstract
In one example, a method includes turning off one or more infrared light emitters of a device, illuminating a scene with a light source of the device other than the one or more infrared light emitters, the light source simultaneously emitting light in both visible and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and acquiring, with an infrared image sensor of the device, an image of the scene in response to detection, by the infrared image sensor, of light from the light source reflected by an object in the scene.
