Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 12:
13. A 3D sensor system comprising:
an integrated circuit comprising:
an imaging sensor comprising an array of pixels formed in a semiconductor substrate, the array of pixels configured to generate first image data representative of reflected light from an environment, the first image data having a first resolution;
processing circuitry formed in the semiconductor substrate, the processing circuitry configured to:
generate second image data based on the first image data, the second image data having a second resolution less than the first resolution; and
determine that the second image data indicates that an object is present in the environment; and
output circuitry configured to provide, responsive to the determining by the processing circuitry, 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.
