Abstract
A method includes obtaining a spatial configuration of a plurality of imaging devices relative to one another and to a movable object. The imaging devices are coupled to the movable object and comprise a first imaging device configured to operate in a multi-ocular mode and a second imaging device configured to operate in a monocular mode. The method further includes determining at least one of a distance of the movable object to an object or surface lying within a field-of-view of at least one of the imaging devices, a disparity between matched points in stereoscopic images acquired by the first imaging device, or an environment in which the plurality of imaging devices are operated. The distance is determined based in part on the spatial configuration. The method also includes selecting either the first imaging device or the second imaging device to acquire image data based on the determination.
