Abstract
Methods and apparatus for scalable processing. Conventional image sensors read image data in a sequential row-by-row manner. However, image data may be more efficiently processed at different scales. For example, computer vision processing at a first scale may be used to determine whether subsequent processing with more resolution is helpful. Various embodiments of the present disclosure readout image data according to different scales; scaled readouts may be processed using scale specific computer vision algorithms to determine next steps. In addition to scaled readouts of image data, some variants may also provide commonly used data and/or implement pre-processing steps.
