1. A method comprising:
obtaining a first image data in a first format from a first image sensor connected directly to the computerized device;
programming a first reprogrammable processing device (RPD) to perform a first operation on at least a portion of the first image data;
processing the at least a portion of the first image data using the programmed first RPD to generate first output data, wherein the programming and the processing of the at least a portion of the first image data using the programmed first RPD are performed during a first time slot;
reprogramming the first RPD to perform a second operation on at least a portion of the first output data; and
processing the at least a portion of the first output data using the reprogrammed first RPD to generate second output data, wherein the reprogramming and the processing of the at least a portion of the first output data using the reprogrammed first RPD are performed during a second time slot subsequent to the first time slot, wherein the first and second time slots have a same temporal duration;
obtaining second image data from a second image sensor;
programming a second RPD to perform a third operation on at least a portion of the second image data;
processing the at least a portion of the second image data using the second RPD to generate third output data;
reprogramming the second RPD to perform a fourth operation on at least a portion of the third output data; and
processing the at least a portion of the third output data using the second RPD to generate fourth output data.
