Abstract
A method for reducing power consumption of a 3D image capture system includes capturing 3D image data with the 3D image capture system while the 3D image capture system is in a first power state, detecting a power state change trigger, and switching from the first power state to a second power state based on the power state change trigger, wherein the 3D image capture system consumes less power in the second power state than in the first power state.
Claims21
1-21. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- capturing, by a sensor and a camera associated with the sensor, active depth data and image data;
- analyzing, by a processing resource, the active depth data and the image data to generate a three dimensional (3D) map of an environment;
- detecting a device motion change;
- determining a rate of the device motion change;
- and
- reducing power to the sensor in response to determining that the rate of the device motion change satisfies a motion threshold.
A system comprising:
- a sensor to capture active depth data;
- a camera to capture image data;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- analyzing the active depth data and the image data to generate a three dimensional (3D) map of an environment;
- detecting a system motion change;
- determining a rate of the system motion change;
- and
- reducing power to the sensor in response to determining that the rate of the system motion change satisfies a motion threshold.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving from, a sensor and a camera associated with the sensor, active depth data and image data;
- analyzing the active depth data and the image data to generate a three dimensional (3D) map of an environment;
- detecting a device motion change;
- determining a rate of the device motion change;
- and
- reducing power to the sensor in response to determining that the rate of the device motion change satisfies a motion threshold.
