Abstract

One exemplary implementation of the present disclosure is directed to a lighting system for detecting the source of glare in imagery. The lighting system includes a first illumination light and a second illumination light each having an associated signal light. Each illumination light is configured to be illuminated independent of the other illumination light and both signal lights. Each signal light has a different spectral peak from the other signal light. The lighting system further includes a control system configured to control the illumination of the first and second illumination lights and associated signal lights based at least in part on identified glare.
