Abstract
A method and system for capturing an image of a portion of an environment including an object of interest and uploading of the image to a service for further image analysis. The system captures a first image of an environment or scene using a first sensor of an image capture device. A region of interest is detected within the first image using an object detection model. A set of coordinates corresponding to the portion of the first image is identified and used to position a second sensor. The second sensor captures a second image including the targeted region of interest, wherein the second image has a higher resolution than the first image. The second image is uploaded to an object detection service for the further image analysis.
