System And Method Of Dynamically Controlling Parameters For Processing Sensor Output Data
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically controlling a sensor on a vehicle, comprising:
- determining, by a processor of the vehicle, a speed of the vehicle; and
controlling, by the processor, one or more parameters for obtaining or processing sensor data output from the sensor based on at least the speed of the vehicle.

Abstract
Various embodiments include dynamically controlling one or more parameters for obtaining and/or processing sensor data received from a sensor on a vehicle based on the speed of the vehicle. In some embodiments, parameters for obtaining and/or processing sensor data may be individually tuned (e.g., decreased, increased, or maintained) by leveraging differences in the level of quality, accuracy, confidence and/or other criteria in sensor data associated with particular missions/tasks performed using the sensor data. For example, the sensor data resolution required for collision avoidance may be less than the sensor data resolution required for inspection tasks, while the update rate required for inspection tasks may be less than the update rate required for collision avoidance. Parameters for obtaining and/or processing sensor data may be individually tuned based on the speed of the vehicle and/or the task or mission to improve consumption of power and/or other resources.
