1. A method comprising:
- defining first and second camera parameters optimized for detecting a respective retroreflective and non-retroreflective object, wherein the first and second camera parameters each comprise an illumination time of a light source;
capturing a sequential series of first and second video frames based on the respective first and second camera parameters; and
facilitating detection of the retroreflective and non-retroreflective object in a camera scene based on the respective first and second video frames of the series.

Abstract
First and second camera parameters are optimized for detecting a respective retroreflective and non-retroreflective object. A sequential series of first and second video frames are captured based on the first and second camera parameters, and the retroreflective and non-retroreflective object are detected in a camera scene based on the respective first and second video frames of the series.
