Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for dual phase detection auto focus (PDAF) power optimization are described. A camera device may capture a frame including a pixel array representing a scene. In some examples, each pixel of the pixel array may be a phase detection (PD) pixel having one or more values, or one or more PD pixels positioned randomly across the pixel array. The camera device may identify a configuration of the pixel array, and determine a condition of the pixel array relative to the configuration. The configuration may be a binning configuration or a frame pattern configuration, and the condition may include an illumination condition related to the pixel array representing the scene. The camera device may determine and apply a reconfiguration to at least a portion of the pixel array based on the condition of the pixel array, and determine a lens position of the camera device therewith.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:\n determining a second binning factor of the set of binning factors based at least in part on determining whether the binning factor is the minimum binning factor of the set of binning factors, wherein the second binning factor is different from the minimum binning factor of the set of binning factors and determining the reconfiguration to be applied to the captured pixel array is based at least in part on determining the second binning factor, wherein applying the reconfiguration to at least the portion of the captured pixel array comprises applying the second binning factor; determining the lens position of the camera device based at least in part on applying the second binning factor; determining that the confidence level associated with the determined lens position is above the threshold by comparing the confidence level to the threshold; performing a contrast autofocus (AF) fine search based at least in part on the confidence level being above the threshold; and adjusting the lens position of the camera device based at least in part on the contrast AF fine search.
