Power saving techniques for an image capture device

A method of operation in an image capture device, comprising:

• monitoring, by an adjustment circuit, image parameters, generating updated image settings for the image capture device based on the monitored image parameters, and transmitting the updated image settings;
• and
• receiving, by one or more processors, the transmitted updated image settings from the adjustment circuit, wherein the received updated image settings comprise instructions for configuring the one or more processors to perform image processing of the image capture device;
• determining to transition the image capture device from a dynamic scene mode to a static scene mode based on a first image parameter included in the monitored image parameters, wherein the first image parameter used to determine to transition the image capture device from the dynamic scene mode to the static scene mode is different from a second image parameter used to determine to transition the image capture device from the static scene mode to the dynamic scene mode;
• suspending generation of all or less than all of the updated image settings in response to determining to transition the image capture device from the dynamic scene mode to the static scene mode, and
• transitioning the image capture device from the dynamic scene mode to the static scene mode.

A computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• monitor image parameters, generate updated image settings for an image capture device based on the monitored image parameters, and transmit the updated image settings;
• receive the transmitted updated image settings, wherein the received updated image settings comprise instructions for configuring the one or more processors to perform image processing of the image capture device;
• determine to transition the image capture device from a dynamic scene mode to a static scene mode based on a first image parameter included in the monitored image parameters, wherein the first image parameter used to determine to transition the image capture device from the dynamic scene mode to the static scene mode is different from a second image parameter used to determine to transition the image capture device from the static scene mode to the dynamic scene mode;
• suspend generation of all or less than all of the updated image settings in response to determining to transition the image capture device from the dynamic scene mode to the static scene mode;
• and
• transition the image capture device from the dynamic scene mode to the static scene mode.
