1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • time of flight single-photon avalanche diode (ToF SPAD) circuitry, which, in operation, generates multiple indications of distance between the apparatus and at least one object within a field of view of the apparatus, wherein the multiple indications of distance corresponding to respective regions within the field of view of the apparatus; and

    processing circuitry, which, in operation,controls at least one image sensor to capture at least one image based on at least one of the multiple indications of distance between the apparatus and the at least one object within the field of view of the apparatus; and

    determines whether the at least one image comprises a true representation of an expected object, the determining including;

    comparing the multiple indications of distance to an expected object distance profile; and

    comparing the at least one image to at least one expected object image.
