Imaging system with dynamic reconstruction workload allocation

An imaging system having an image sensor device, the imaging system comprising:

• circuitry to generate a plurality of subframes of image data corresponding to respective portions of an exposure interval;
• and
• circuitry to select one of at least two data output formats in which data representative of the plurality of subframes of image data is to be output from the image sensor device depending at least in part on whether the exposure interval exceeds one or more exposure time thresholds, the at least two data output formats, including:
• a first data output format in which each of the subframes of image data is output in its entirety from the image sensor device;
• and
• a second data output format in which a logical combination of at least two of the subframes of image data is output from the image sensor device instead of the at least two of the subframes of image data such that the total volume of image data output from the image sensor device is reduced relative to the first data output format.
