Abstract

A camera device may capture a high-resolution image of a frame and store the high-resolution image in memory. The camera device may down-sample the high-resolution image to a low-resolution image of the frame. The camera device may transmit, to an external compute node, the low-resolution image. The camera device may receive, from the external compute node, a request for a region of interest from the high-resolution image. The camera device may transmit, to the external compute node, the region of interest from the high-resolution image. The camera device may have a captured frame rate at which high-resolution images are captured. The camera device may also have an external frame rate based upon which all, or only some, of the high-resolution images may be down-sampled to low-resolution images that are transmitted to the external compute node. The external frame rate may be decoupled from the captured frame rate.
