An apparatus can include a first image sensor having a first field of view (FOV) and configured to capture a first image, a second image sensor having a second FOV and configured to capture a second image, an image statistics collection subsystem configured to gather first image statistics information associated with the first image and to gather second image statistics information associated with the second image, a disparity detection subsystem configured to compare the first image statistics information with the second image statistics information, and image signal processing blocks configured to synchronize processing of the first and second images based on the comparison of the first image statistics information with the second image statistics information. Processing of the first and second images can involve using one or more combined image signal processing control parameters based on image statistics information within an overlapping FOV and/or a within a total FOV.
