1. A method for tracking an object, comprising:
temporally coordinating a lighting device and an optical sensor in accordance with a first control, wherein the first control temporally coordinates the optical sensor and the lighting device so as to capture a first recording of a first visible distance range illuminated by the lighting device;
detecting the object in the first recording;
determining, based on the first recording, a distance between the object and the optical sensor; and
temporally coordinating the lighting device and the optical sensor, based on the determined distance between the object and the optical sensor, in accordance with a second control, wherein the second control temporally coordinates optical sensor and the lighting device so as to capture a second recording of a second visible distance range illuminated by the lighting device when the object is located in a center to the second visible distance range.
