    Abstract: Imaging systems and techniques are described. An imaging system can receive image data from an image sensor with different sets of photodetectors sensitive to different electromagnetic (EM) frequency domains. The imaging system determines, based on image data of a scene received from the image sensor, a first focus setting for focusing on the scene using the image sensor in the first domain. The imaging system determines, based on the first focus setting and a difference between respective characteristics of the first domain and a second domain, a second focus setting for focusing on the scene using the image sensor in the second domain. The imaging system causes the image sensor to capture a first image of the scene in the first domain according to the first focus setting, and to capture a second image of the scene in the second domain according to the second focus setting.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for selecting a camera from a plurality of cameras. For example, a process can include obtaining an image from a camera. In some cases, the process can include determining a depth of field (DOF) range associated with a scene captured in the image. In some aspects, the process can include comparing the DOF range associated with the scene captured in the image with one or more DOF ranges of respective cameras of a plurality of cameras. In some examples, the process can include determining a selected camera from the plurality of cameras based on comparing the DOF range associated with the scene captured in the image with respective one or more DOF ranges of each camera of the plurality of cameras.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for reducing dropped frames in image capturing devices are described. The method includes receiving, from an optical sensor of the image capturing device, a batch of frames, determining, by a hardware layer or a software layer of the image capturing device, that an error condition exists in relation to the batch of frames, determining, by the hardware layer, a numerical quantity of frames of the batch of frames in a frame buffer based on determining the error condition exists, and sending, by the hardware layer, the determined quantity of frames to the software layer of the image capturing device for processing by the software layer.
