1. An image-sensing device comprising:
a multispectral sensor; and
a processor communicably coupled to the multispectral sensor,
wherein the processor is configured to determine an ambient light source corresponding to an output of the multispectral sensor,
further comprising an image sensor communicably coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to adapt an image sensed by the image sensor based upon the ambient light source classification, and wherein a field of view of the multispectral sensor is greater than a field of view of the image sensor.
