Abstract
Aspects of the embodiments are directed to time-of-flight (ToF) imaging systems and method for image processing. The ToF imaging system can include a depth sensor; a light steering device; a photodetector; and an image processor. The ToF imaging system can be configured to acquiring a first image of a scene by the photodetector; identifying one or more regions of interest of the scene from the first image; and capturing a depth map of at least one of the one or more regions of interest.
