1. A distributed illumination system, comprising; an image capturing device for acquiring an image associated with a scene via said image capturing device in order to thereafter detect and prioritize a targeted subject with respect to said scene; at least two active illumination sources; and a processor that determines a relative geometric location to locate said at least two active illumination sources with respect to said image capturing device, wherein said processor computes an offset position for said at least two active illumination sources based on a predicted location with respect to said subject and said geometric location in order to point said pan/tilt device associated with each illumination source towards said targeted subject to acquire enhanced imagery at varying distances to the targeted subject.
