Techniques for context and performance adaptive processing in ultra low-power computer vision systems

摘要

Techniques are disclosed to adaptively control an image sensor and image signal processor (ISP), collectively known as an image pipeline, such that a minimum amount of power is consumed by an electronic device while producing images that can be accurately analyzed by a computer vision application. The techniques disclosed herein can be implemented in various electronic devices capable of capturing and processing image data, such as, for example, smart phones, wearable computers, laptops, tablets, and other mobile computing or imaging systems. In an embodiment, the techniques disclosed herein are implemented in a system-on-chip device.
