1. A system comprising:
at least one ultraviolet (UV) light source configured to emit UV light for disinfection of surfaces and objects within an interior of an enclosed container, wherein the enclosed container has at least one reflective surface;
at least one of a camera and a sensor configured to acquire data from the surfaces and objects within the interior of the enclosed container during disinfection; and
a computing device in operative communication with the UV light source and the at least one of the camera and the sensor, wherein the computing device is configured to analyze the data received from the at least one of the camera and the sensor during disinfection to determine at least one parameter of disinfection, and wherein the computing device is configured to selectively control operation of the UV light source based on the determined at least one parameter of disinfection.
