Claim 0:
1. A method for operating a 3D sensor system, the method comprising:
by an array of pixels of an imaging sensor of the 3D sensor system, generating first image data representative of reflected light from an environment, the image data having a first resolution;
by processing circuitry of the 3D sensor system, generating second image data based on the first image data, the second image data having a second resolution less than the first resolution;
by the processing circuitry of the imaging sensor, determining that the second image data indicates that an object is present in the environment; and
responsive to the determining, providing the first image data from the 3D sensor system to one or more processors configured to generate a three-dimensional image of the environment based on the first image data.
