Abstract

Mobile devices comprising a first camera having a first camera field-of-view (FOV1) and including a first image sensor configured to operate a first segment of the first image sensor in a full resolution-mode for capturing full resolution image data and to operate a second segment of the first image sensor in a binning resolution mode for capturing binning resolution image data and a processor for analyzing image data of the first camera to select a region of interest (ROI) in a scene and for configuring the first image sensor so that the selected ROI is captured in full resolution. In some examples, a mobile device further comprises a second camera having a second FOV (FOV2) and including a second image sensor configured to capture FOV2, wherein the analysis of image data to select a ROI is performed by analysing image data of the second camera.
