Abstract
Techniques related to anti-glare exposures for imaging devices and, in particular, for exposures that disable a flash when a flash reflecting surface is detected between the imaging device and an object of interest of the exposure are discussed. Such techniques may include determining a flash reflecting surface is between the imaging device and the object of interest based on a comparison of an autofocus distance to the object of interest and an estimated distance to the flash reflecting surface and disabling the flash based on the determination.
