Frame rate setting for power efficient gesture detection

An apparatus for gesture detection, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• identify a set of configured gestures;
• determine a set of minimum frame rates, wherein each minimum frame rate corresponds to at least one configured gesture in the set of configured gestures;
• set an initial frame rate for a sensor based at least in part on the set of minimum frame rates;
• capture a plurality of images using the initial frame rate;
• and
• detect a configured gesture of the set of configured gestures based at least in part on the plurality of images.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for gesture detection at a device, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• identify a set of configured gestures;
• determine a set of minimum frame rates, wherein each minimum frame rate corresponds to at least one configured gesture in the set of configured gestures;
• set an initial frame rate for a sensor of the device based at least in part on the set of minimum frame rates;
• capture a plurality of images using the initial frame rate;
• and
• detect a configured gesture of the set of configured gestures based at least in part on the plurality of images.
