Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
transmitting first programming data to an image sensor comprising a plurality of pixel cells to select a first subset of the pixel cells to generate first active pixels;
receiving, from a frame buffer, a first image frame comprising the first active pixels and first inactive pixels, the first inactive pixels corresponding to a second subset of the pixel cells not selected to generate the first active pixels;
performing an image-processing operation a first subset of pixels of the first image frame, whereby a second subset of pixels of the first image frame are excluded from the image-processing operation, to generate a processing output;
based on the processing output, generating second programming data; and
transmitting the second programming data to the image sensor to select a third subset of the pixel cells to generate second active pixels for a second image frame.
