Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices that relate to light detection and ranging (LIDAR). A controlling means for a LIDAR system includes a means for determining a current operational state of the LIDAR system regarding a predefined threshold state. The controlling means also switches the LIDAR system from a first operational mode to a second operational mode when the determined operational state exceeds the predefined threshold state. The second operational mode corresponds to an operational power of at least one operational means of the LIDAR system being lower than in the first operational mode.

Abstract: Camera control architecture and methods that distribute control responsibilities across hard real-time and soft real-time parts. The operation of digital camera control algorithms can be made less sensitive to timing fluctuations among the various systems within a device platform that includes a camera module (CM) and/or image signal processing (ISP) pipeline. Real-time dispatch of control parameter values may be offloaded from a controller responsible for generating control parameter values. With relaxed timing requirements, camera control algorithm libraries may be developed independent of lower-level hardware responsible for managing the dispatch of control parameter values to the CM and/or ISP.
