Claim 17:
18. A method, comprising:
capturing, by an image sensor, a first image frame;
determining, by a controller, whether first image data from the first image frame generated by an image sensor contains features of an object, wherein the image sensor and the controller forms a stack and are housed within a semiconductor package;
based on whether the first image data contains features of the object, generating, by the controller, programming signals for the image sensor; and
controlling, by the controller and based on the programming signals, the image sensor to generate second image data associated with a second image frame;
wherein a first subset of the programming signals control at least one of a first power consumed by a first subset of pixel cells of the image sensor, a first quantization resolution of first pixel data output by the first subset of the pixel cells, or a first bit length of the first pixel data; and
wherein a second subset of the programming signals control at least one of a second power consumed by a second subset of the pixel cells, a second quantization resolution of second pixel data output by the second subset of the pixel cells, or a second bit length of the second pixel data.
