Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013086543A2] An image camera component and its method of operation are disclosed. The image camera component detects when ambient light within a field of view of the camera component interferes with operation of the camera component to correctly identify distances to objects within the field of view of the camera component. Upon detecting a problematic ambient light source, the image camera component may cause an alert to be generated so that a user can ameliorate the problematic ambient light source.
