  • REDUCING THROUGHPUT OF PAIRED CAMERAS
    Publication number: 20250330720
    Abstract: Reducing throughput of paired cameras, including: selecting, by a first camera of an autonomous vehicle, a first area of focus for a first frame generated by the first camera; selecting, by a second camera of the autonomous vehicle, a second area of focus for a second frame generated by the second camera by matching the first area of focus for the first frame; generating, by the first camera from the first frame, a first downsampled frame and a first cropped frame, wherein the first cropped frame is based on the first area of focus; and generating, by the second camera from the second frame, a second downsampled frame and a second cropped frame, wherein the second cropped frame is based on the second area of focus.
    Type: Application
