Abstract
A method includes obtaining a first plurality of image frames that are provided by an image sensor at a first output rate. The method includes determining a GPU temporal processing value characterizing the GPU processing of the first plurality of image frames. The GPU temporal processing value is a function of an amount of information associated with the first plurality of image frames. The method includes determining an operation value associated with the image sensor based on a function of the GPU temporal processing value. The operation value modifies the operation of the image sensor. The method includes changing, using a controller, the operation of the image sensor as a function of the operation value so that the image sensor provides a second plurality of image frames at a second output rate.
