Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes instructing, at a first time, a camera with multiple pixel sensors to capture a first image of an environment comprising an object to determine a first object pose of the object. Based on the first object pose, the method determines a predicted object pose of the object at a second time. The method determines a predicted camera pose of the camera at the second time. The method generates pixel-activation instructions based on a projection of a 3D model of the object having the predicted object pose onto a virtual image plane associated with the predicted camera pose. The method instructs, at the second time, the camera to use a subset of the plurality of pixel sensors to capture a second image of the environment according to the pixel-activation instructions. The method determines, based on the second image, a second object pose of the object.
