An imaging device is configured to perform eye tracking. The imaging device comprises an image sensor and an image controller. The image sensor is configured to capture an image of a portion of a user's face. The image controller is configured to: in a first-access step, read out a set of sample pixels, from the image sensor to main memory; identify a pixel of interest from the set of sample pixels and a location of the pixel of interest; in a second-access step, read out remaining pixels in a photodetector group of interest corresponding to the location of the pixel of interest, from the image sensor to the main memory; generate a high-resolution region of interest by combining the pixel of interest and the remaining pixels in the photodetector group; and perform gaze estimation using the full resolution region of interest.
