Video Monitoring Using a Hierarchical Combination of Camera Sensors
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250071415 titled 'Video Monitoring Using a Hierarchical Combination of Camera Sensors
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus includes a primary camera sensor configured to capture images having a first resolution, a primary processing circuit configured to process images captured by the primary camera sensor, a secondary camera sensor configured to capture images having a second resolution, and a secondary processing circuit configured to process images captured by the secondary camera sensor. in response to a determination that a particular object of interest is included in a particular image, the secondary processing circuit may be further configured to cause the primary processing circuit and the primary camera sensor to exit a reduced power mode. the primary camera sensor may be further configured, in response to the exiting, to capture a different image. the primary processing circuit may also be configured to process the different image to validate the particular object of interest.
