Claim:
1. A method for processing images, the method comprising: receiving, by a sensor platform comprising a sensor system, a sequence of images from the sensor system; recognizing a number of objects in the sequence of images; identifying, by the sensor platform, object information about the number of objects in the sequence of images; identifying a number of threats from within the number of objects; receiving a selection of a level of reduction of data from different levels of reduction of data; and generating data, by the sensor platform, using the selection of the level of reduction of data, wherein, an amount of the data is based on the selection of the level of reduction of data; wherein, the different levels of reduction of data comprise a first level of reduction, a second level of reduction, and a third level of reduction; wherein, when the first level of reduction is selected, the data comprises a set of images selected from a number of images in the sequence of images that is less than the number of images in the sequence of images, such that the set of images are selected based on an overlap between images in the set of images and a reference image; wherein, when the second level of reduction is selected, the data comprises no images from the sequence of images and the object information; and wherein, when the third level of reduction is selected, the data comprises no images from the sequence of images and object information only for the number of threats identified within the number of objects.
