Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus to capture images are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a resolution determiner to determine that a first frame of image data is to undergo processing at a first resolution and that a second frame of image data is to undergo processing at a second resolution lower than the first resolution; and a controller to activate an illuminator when an image sensor is to capture the first frame and to deactivate the illuminator when the image sensor is to capture the second frame.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a resolution determiner to process a first frame of image data to determine whether a second frame of image data to be captured subsequent to the first frame is to undergo a facial recognition analysis, the resolution determiner to determine (1) whether a head is present in the first frame and (2) an orientation of the head; and a controller to: when the head is present in the first frame and the orientation of the head enables s…
