Abstract

An example mobile camera includes a first convolutional neural network to recognize a first feature in first sensor data in response to the first feature being detected in the first sensor data; a state transitioner to transition the mobile camera from a first feature detection state to a second feature detection state in response to the first convolutional neural network recognizing the first feature, the mobile camera to operate using higher power consumption in the second feature detection state than in the first feature detection state; a second convolutional neural network to recognize a second feature in second sensor data in the second feature detection state; and a communications interface to send to an external device at least one of first metadata corresponding to the first feature or second metadata corresponding to the second feature.
