Reducing throughput of paired cameras, including: selecting, by a first camera of an autonomous vehicle, a first area of focus for a first frame generated by the first camera; selecting, by a second camera of the autonomous vehicle, a second area of focus for a second frame generated by the second camera by matching the first area of focus for the first frame; generating, by the first camera from the first frame, a first downsampled frame and a first cropped frame, wherein the first cropped frame is based on the first area of focus; and generating, by the second camera from the second frame, a second downsampled frame and a second cropped frame, wherein the second cropped frame is based on the second area of focus.

Reducing throughput of paired cameras

A system includes a camera module having an image sensor configured to capture image data and a thermal plate thermally coupled to the image sensor. A first temperature sensor is configured to capture a temperature of the image sensor. A thermoelectric cooler is included in the camera module, with a cold side of the thermoelectric cooler coupled to the thermal plate and a hot side of the thermoelectric cooler thermally coupled to a heat sink. A controller is coupled to the thermoelectric cooler and to the first temperature sensor. The controller is configured to generate a control signal in response to a comparison of the temperature of the image sensor to a stored temperature for the image sensor. The control signal adjusts transfer of heat between the cold side of the thermoelectric cooler and the hot side of the thermoelectric cooler.

Throughput reduction in autonomous vehicle camera sensors, including: generating, by a camera sensor, a frame; selecting an area of focus for the frame; and generating, by the camera sensor from the frame, a downsampled frame and a cropped frame, wherein the cropped frame is based on the area of focus.
