Abstract

Techniques for reducing latency associated with temporal sensor data processing. The techniques may include determining a region of interest within a field of view of a temporal sensor (e.g., rotating lidar sensor, rolling shutter camera, etc.). Based at least in part on determining the region of interest, an azimuth angle associated with a partial scan of the temporal sensor may be determined such that the region of interest is disposed within the azimuth angle. The techniques may also include receiving sensor data from the temporal sensor and determining whether the sensor data corresponds with the azimuth angle/region of interest. Based at least in part on a determination that the sensor data corresponding with the azimuth angle/region of interest has been received, the sensor data may be processed prior to at least one of receiving additional sensor data or a completion of a full scan by the temporal sensor.
