Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided in which a first image frame is obtained by exposing and reading out a first plurality of pixels corresponding to a first region of interest (ROI) via a first image sensor. While the first image frame is being obtained, a control signal is obtained for changing the first ROI to a second ROI based on an image frame obtained from the second image sensor. In response to the obtained control signal, a second image frame continuous from the first image frame is obtained by exposing and reading out a second plurality of pixels corresponding to the second ROI via the first image sensor.
