Sensor device and methods of use

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a multispectral sensor device, that a measurement is to be performed,
• wherein the measurement is to be performed using data collected by one or more channels of a plurality of channels of the multispectral sensor device, and
• wherein the measurement is associated with a time sensitivity;
• causing, by the multispectral sensor device, the data to be collected by a proper subset of channels, of the plurality of channels, based on a time sensitivity of the measurement,
• wherein the proper subset of channels includes the one or more channels,
• wherein the time sensitivity indicates that the measurement is a time-sensitive measurement when the measurement is associated with a threshold frame rate, and
• wherein the time sensitivity indicates that the measurement is a non-time-sensitive measurement when the measurement is not associated with the threshold frame rate;
• and
• determining, by the multispectral sensor device, the measurement based on the data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a multispectral sensor device, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine that a first measurement and a second measurement are to be performed,
• wherein the first measurement is to be performed using first data collected by one or more first channels of a plurality of channels of the multispectral sensor device,
• wherein the second measurement is to be performed using second data collected by one or more second channels of the plurality of channels, and
• wherein the first measurement is associated with a greater time sensitivity than the second measurement;
• cause the first data to be collected by a proper subset of channels, of the plurality of channels, based on a time sensitivity of the first measurement,
• wherein the proper subset of channels includes the one or more first channels;
• cause the second data to be collected,
• wherein the multispectral sensor device is configured to activate all channels of the plurality of channels to cause the second data to be collected;
• determine the first measurement based on the first data;
• and
• determine the second measurement based on the second data,
• wherein the first measurement is a time-sensitive measurement that is associated with a threshold frame rate, and
• wherein the second measurement is a non-time-sensitive measurement that is not associated with the threshold frame rate.
