Abstract
A method includes obtaining, from an image sensor, one or more images that represent an object, and determining a speed of the object based on the one or more images. The method also includes determining that the speed of the object exceeds a threshold speed and, based on determining that the speed of the object exceeds the threshold speed, determining a region of interest (ROI) of the image sensor expected to represent the object. The method further includes causing the image sensor to generate one or more ROI images using the ROI.
