Abstract
A multispectral sensor device may include a sensor array comprising a plurality of channels and one or more processors to determine that a time-sensitive measurement is to be performed, wherein the time-sensitive measurement is to be performed using data collected by one or more channels of the plurality of channels; cause the data to be collected by a proper subset of channels, of the plurality of channels, wherein the proper subset of channels includes the one or more channels; and determine the time-sensitive measurement based on the data.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- causing, by a multispectral sensor device and for a first measurement, first data to be collected by a subset of channels of the multispectral sensor device,
- wherein the subset of channels is less than all channels of the multispectral sensor device;
- and
- causing, by the multispectral sensor device and for a second measurement, second data to be collected by all channels of the multispectral sensor device,
- wherein the second measurement is associated with a less stringent time sensitivity than the first measurement.
A multispectral sensor device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- cause, for a first measurement, first data to be collected by a subset of channels of a sensor array,
- wherein the subset of channels is less than all channels of the sensor array;
- and
- cause, for a second measurement, second data to be collected by all channels of the sensor array,
- wherein the second measurement is associated with a less stringent time sensitivity than the first measurement.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- cause, for a first measurement, first data to be collected by a subset of channels of a sensor array,
- wherein the subset of channels is less than all channels of the sensor array;
- and
- cause, for a second measurement, second data to be collected by all channels of the sensor array,
- wherein the second measurement is associated with a less stringent time sensitivity than the first measurement.
