Methods for capturing and transmitting images by an in-vivo device comprise operating a pixel array in a superpixel readout mode to capture probe image, for example, according to a time interval. Concurrently to capturing of each probe image, the probe image is evaluated alone or in conjunction with other probe image(s), and if it is determined that no event of interest is detected by the last probe image, or by the last few probe images, the pixel array is operated in the superpixel readout mode and a subsequent probe image is captured. However, if it is determined that the last probe image,or the last few probe images, detected an event of interest, the pixel array is operated in a single pixel readout mode and a single normal image, or a series of normal image, is captured and transmitted, for example, to an external receiver. 通过体内装置捕获并传输图像的方法包括在超像素读出模式下操作像素阵列以例如根据时间间隔捕获探针图像。在捕获每个探针图像的同时，探针图像被单独评估或者与其他探针图像起评估，并且如果确定感兴趣事件通过过去的探针图像或过去的几个探针图像未被检测到，则像素阵列在超像素读出模式下被操作并且后续探针图像被捕获。然而，如果确定感兴趣事件通过过去的探针图像或过去的几个探针图像被检
