When the target moves from the position 830 to the position 831, the light 822 reflected and scattered by the target changes to the light beams 823. The change in the light beams or the images that they represent, are detected by the detection subsystem and fed into the processing electronics 850 and servo control 860 which controls the illumination beams by moving them from the position 830 to the position 831, effectively keeping the illumination beam directed on the target at all times. When the illumination is outside of the visible spectrum, the target may not be aware that it is monitored and followed which may be advantageous in some security applications.

The complete dynamic illumination system can be mounted on the stationary platforms in offices, homes, galleries, etc. or can be employed in the movable systems such as automobiles, planes and drones.

While the above is a full description of the specific embodiments, various modifications, alternative constructions and equivalents may be used. Therefore, the above description and illustrations should not be taken as limiting the scope of the present invention which is defined by the appended claims.
