OBTAINING IMAGE DATA OF AN OBJECT IN A SCENE

A method and processor system are provided which analyze a depth map, which may be obtained from a range sensor capturing depth information of a scene, to identify where an object is located in the scene. Accordingly, a region of interest may be identified in the scene which includes the object, and...

More Information
Summary:A method and processor system are provided which analyze a depth map, which may be obtained from a range sensor capturing depth information of a scene, to identify where an object is located in the scene. Accordingly, a region of interest may be identified in the scene which includes the object, and image data may be selectively obtained of the region of interest, rather than of the entire scene containing the object. This image data may be acquired by an image sensor configured for capturing visible light information of the scene. By only selectively obtaining the image data within the region of interest, rather than all of the image data, improvements may be realized in the computational complexity of a possible further processing of the image data, the storage of the image data and/or the transmission of the image data.
