    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising a memory for storing a sequence of image frames and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a first image frame of a sequence of image frames from an image capture device and select a first portion of a first image frame. The at least one processor may also be configured to obtain alignment information and determine a first portion and a second portion of a second image frame based on the alignment information. Further, the at least one processor may be configured to determine a bounding region within the second image frame and fetch image data corresponding to the bounding region of the second image frame from memory. In some examples, the first image frame may comprise a base image and the second image frame may comprise an alternative image frame. Further, the first image frame may comprise any one of the image frames of the sequence of image frames.

    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising a memory for storing image frames and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a plurality of image frames from an image capture device and downsize each of the plurality image frames to generate a plurality of versions of each image frame at a plurality of different sizes. The at least one processor may also be configured to determine alignment information for a first version of a first image frame. The alignment information may include a first alignment vector for identifying image data in a first version of a second image frame that corresponds to image data in the first version of the first image frame. Further, the at least one processor may be configured to determine a first initial alignment vector for identifying image data in a first version of a third image frame based on at least the first alignment vector.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, from an image sensor, one or more images that represent an object, and determining a speed of the object based on the one or more images. The method also includes determining that the speed of the object exceeds a threshold speed and, based on determining that the speed of the object exceeds the threshold speed, determining a region of interest (ROI) of the image sensor expected to represent the object. The method further includes causing the image sensor to generate one or more ROI images using the ROI.
