Abstract: In general, techniques are described regarding adaptation of image capture modes to provide refined image capture capabilities. Cameras comprising image sensors configured to perform the techniques are also disclosed. An image sensor may use different image capture modes to capture frames of image data based at least in part on various operating conditions. For example, the processor can cause an image sensor to transition between image capture modes specifying different binning levels in the case that a digital zoom level satisfies a predefined threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided that adapt image capture operations to provide refined image capture capabilities. For example, an image capture device captures image data from a sensor operating at a first binning level. The image capture device receives a desired level of zoom, and determines whether the sensor is to be transitioned from the first binning level to a second binning level based on a binning transition threshold. If the sensor is to be transitioned, the image capture device adjusts one or more image capture operations, such as auto focus, automatic exposure, automatic gain, or automatic white balance, based on the desired level of zoom. After an amount of time, the image capture device transitions the sensor from the first binning level to the second binning level. The image capture device then captures image data from the sensor operating at the second binning level.

Abstract: Power demand reduction for image generation for displays skips rendering of frames that are highly similar based on a comparison of certain parameters associated with draw calls. A first set of draw calls is received from a game engine by a central processing unit (CPU) circuit and then a second set of draw calls are provided to the CPU circuit. The CPU circuit compares the second set of draw calls to the first set of draw calls. If there is a change in at least one parameter that exceeds a threshold, then the CPU circuit sends the second set of draw calls to a graphics processing unit (GPU) circuit for rendering. If, however, the change in selected parameters is below the threshold, then the CPU circuit sends an earlier rendered image to the display for presentation to the user, effectively omitting usage of the GPU circuit for that frame.
