Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method for capturing image data, the method comprising:

  • determining an illumination level using a low-lux sensor and a high-lux sensor, the low-lux sensor assigned to capture image data in illumination levels below a threshold illumination level, the high-lux sensor assigned to capture image data indicating gestures from a driver or a passenger in a vehicle with illumination levels above a threshold illumination level;

    determining, by an illumination threshold module, whether the determined illumination level is below a threshold illumination level;

    processing image data captured by the low-lux sensor when the illumination level is below the threshold illumination level; and

    processing image data captured by the high-lux sensor when the illumination level is above the threshold illumination level.
