Abstract

In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method of calibrating an imaging system in real-time, comprising: obtaining a first reading by a first sensor; establishing a dynamic link between the first reading and exposure time of a second sensor; using the dynamic link to control the exposure time of the second sensor; obtaining a second reading by the second sensor during the controlled exposure time; wherein the steps are performed by one or more computing devices.
