    Abstract: Cameras may monitor its operation and automatically switch between operation modes thereby to best capture users' experiences. Auxiliary sensor data collected by the one or more sensors and/or captured image data may be analyzed to determine when a camera should switch to a high-motion operation mode. The auxiliary sensor data include motion information of the camera and the content of the captured images include motion information of the captured objects. When a camera or objects captured by the camera are moving rapidly, the camera is switched to operate at the high-motion operation mode to ensure image quality and minimize artifacts to best capture users' experiences. Motion of the camera may be detected or predicted by analyzing the auxiliary sensor data and motion of the captured objects may be detected by analyzing the captured image data thereby to determine whether or not the camera should switch to the high-motion operation mode.

    Abstract: Multiple pipelines are used for image and video processing. In a first image processing pipeline, an image is retrieved from a buffer and processed using one or more image processing units. An altered image produced using the first image processing pipeline replaces the earlier version of the image stored in the buffer. The altered image may also be immediately output for display or encoding. In the second image processing pipeline, the altered image is retrieved from the buffer and processed according to image processing control statistics collected at the first image processing pipeline. The resulting processed image may then be encoded. A processed image output from the second image processing pipeline has a higher resolution than the altered image output from the first image processing pipeline.
