Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
determining an image capture operation for a plurality of image sensors of a mobile device, wherein:
the plurality image sensors are part of a multi-drop network; and
the image capture operation reduces a volume of image data transmitted over the multi-drop network by determining a subset of image sensors to capture images of one or more objects of interest;

transmitting a control signal to configure image sensing operations at the plurality of image sensors based on the image capture operation;
receiving, via a physical link, image data from each image sensor of the subset of the plurality of image sensors, wherein the plurality of image sensors and the physical link form the multi-drop network;
determining information about a surrounding environment of the mobile device, wherein the information about the surrounding environment includes a tracking result of an object of interest; and
selecting the subset of the plurality of image sensors based on determining that the image data generated by the subset of the plurality of image sensors is likely to include the object of interest.
