To provide illumination control for imaging systems with multiple image sensors.SOLUTION: The invention provides a multi-sensor imaging system generally relating to illumination synchronization in a multi-imager environment. A process comprises: operating a near-field illumination source associated with a near-field image sensor, based on a first illumination pulse train; determining an exposure period of a far-field image sensor; and modifying one or more characteristics of the first illumination pulse train to accommodate the exposure period of the far-field image sensor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】複数の画像センサを有する撮像システムのための照明制御を提供する。【解決手段】概して、マルチイメージャ環境における照明同期に関するマルチセンサ撮像システムであって、プロセスは、第１の照明パルストレインに基づいて、近視野画像センサと関連付けられた近視野照明源を動作させることと、遠視野画像センサの露光期間を判定することと、第１の照明パルストレインの１つ以上の特性を、遠視野画像センサの露光期間を収容するように修正することと、を含む。【選択図】図７
