Space mapping illumination in image system

A method for generating an image of a scene by an image system, the method comprising:

• obtaining a distance matrix for the scene, wherein each cell of the distance matrix corresponds to a zone of the scene and a value in each cell represents a distance from an object in each zone to a camera;
• obtaining an illumination intensity matrix for the scene, wherein each cell of the illumination intensity matrix corresponds to a zone of the scene and a value in each cell represents illumination intensity of one or more illumination devices in each zone of the scene;
• generating a compensation matrix based on the illumination intensity matrix and the distance matrix;
• characterized by
• adjusting the intensity of the one or more illumination devices based on the compensation matrix;
• capturing an image of the scene by the camera using the one or more illumination devices with adjusted intensity;
• and
• adjusting pixel values of the captured image based on the compensation matrix to generate the image of the scene.
