Abstract: Described is an image capture device with an adjustable range and related methods. The device comprises an illumination element, an array imager and a microcontroller. The illumination element is initialized to a first illumination intensity and a first illumination pulse duration. The array imager utilizes a first exposure time. The array imager achieves a first imaging range based on the first illumination intensity, the first illumination pulse duration and the first exposure time. The microcontroller changes at least one of (i) the first illumination intensity to a second illumination intensity (ii) the first illumination pulse duration to a second illumination pulse duration and (iii) the first exposure time to a second exposure time. The array imager achieves a second imaging range as a function of at least one of the second illumination intensity, the second illumination pulse duration and the second exposure time.
