1. A method for reducing an effect of an undesired infrared light source in an imaging system using a desired infrared light source, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) activating the desired infrared light source during a first image capture interval;

    (b) capturing a first set of image data during the first image capture interval;

    (c) deactivating the desired infrared light source during a second image capture interval;

    (d) capturing a second set of image data during the second image capture interval; and

    (e) producing a composite set of image data by subtracting from first values in the first set of image data, corresponding second values in the second set of image data.
