an imaging device configured to detect a subject in a subject area, wherein the imaging device is further configured to detect retroreflected light from an eye of the subject;
a deterrent component comprising a directed light deterrent component configured to perform a deterrent action on the subject; and
a processor communicatively connected to the imaging device and the deterrent component, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive input from the imaging device and identify the subject based on the received input;
determine a behavior descriptor associated with the subject based on the received input;
command the imaging device to track the subject until the subject exits the subject area;
determine a target area of the eye of the subject based on the retroreflected light detected by the imaging device, the target area includes a fovea of the eye of the subject,
command the deterrent component to automatically and persistently perform the deterrent action, wherein a level of intensity of the deterrent action is variable and calibrated based on the determined behavior descriptor;
receive at least a feedback input from the imaging device, wherein the feedback input is a behavioral response of the subject to the performed deterrent action;
determine a corrected deterrent action as a function of the feedback input, and command the deterrent component to automatically perform the corrected deterrent action,
