Abstract
A disclosed example to operate a mobile camera includes recognizing a first feature in first sensor data in response to the first feature being detected in the first sensor data; transitioning the mobile camera from a first feature detection state to a second feature detection state in response to the recognizing of the first feature, the mobile camera to operate using higher power consumption in second feature detection state than in the first feature detection state; recognizing a second feature in second sensor data in the second feature detection state; and sending to an external device at least one of first metadata corresponding to the first feature or second metadata corresponding to the second feature.
