Abstract
In one example, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus is part of a mobile device and comprises: an array of pixel cells each configured to perform an image sensing operation, one or more attributes of the image sensing operation being configurable based on an image sensing configuration; a sensor data processor configured to execute a hierarchical set of processing operations; and a controller configured to: receive, from the sensor data processor, a first-level processing output from a first-level processing operation of the hierarchical set of processing operations; and based on the first-level processing output satisfying a condition, control the sensor data processor to execute a second-level processing operation on at least one image frame captured by the array of pixel cells to generate a second-level processing output.
