1. A method, comprising:
receiving first image data from an image sensor;
processing the first image data in a first binning configuration to extract a first set of image frames of a first image size at a first frame rate and to perform a computer vision (CV) operation on an object in a scene based on the first set of image frames in a computer vision mode;
determining to change from the first binning configuration to a second binning configuration to switch from the computer vision mode operating according to the first binning configuration to an image capture mode for capturing the object in the scene according to the second binning configuration;
receiving second image data from the image sensor;
processing the second image data in the second binning configuration to extract a second set of image frames of a second image size at a second frame rate, the processing of the second image data based on the determining to change from the first binning configuration to the second binning configuration; and
determining an output image frame comprising the object in the scene based on at least one image frame of the second set of image frames.
