Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A method for operating an image processing apparatus, comprising:
generating, by an image sensor comprising a depth-image pixel array, a first set of input information representing a first depth image and a second set of input information representing a second depth image;
outputting, from a mode control circuit, a mode signal indicating one of a plurality of operation modes of the image processing apparatus to a calculation circuit, wherein indicating one of the plurality of operation modes is configured to save power or enhance image quality;
determining, by the calculation circuit, a first weighting value associated with the first depth image and a second weighting value associated with the second depth image based on the mode signal; and
generating, based on the first and the second sets of input information and the first and the second weighting values, an output information representing an output depth image.
