Claim 12:
13. A system comprising:
at least one image capture device;
an image processing unit comprising to at least one processor configured to process images;
a controller comprising one or more processors;
a non-transitory computer readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by the one or more processors of the controller to:
determine a plurality of sets of exposure parameter values for one or more exposure parameters;
cause the at least one image capture device to capture a plurality of images, wherein each image of the plurality of images is captured according to a set of exposure parameter values of the plurality of sets of exposure parameter values;
determine an amount of variance between the plurality of images captured according to the plurality of sets of exposure parameter values; and
based on the determined amount of variance between the plurality of captured images, alter a sampling rate at which images are sent by the controller to the image processing unit.
