Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for dual mode imaging under different lighting conditions. A sensor is configured to image a target. A dual-mode illumination source is configured to illuminate the target while the sensor images the target. The dual-mode illumination source is configured to illuminate the target using a first wavelength of light under a first lighting condition and to illuminate the target using a second wavelength of light under a second lighting condition. The system may be used in an optical tracking system to track the motion of an object.
