1. A method comprising:
capturing, using a pixel array of an image sensing system, a first image;
detecting a region-of-interest in the first image;
determining a plurality of image characteristics of the first image, wherein determining the plurality of image characteristics of the first image comprises determining an image quality level of the region-of-interest;
determining, based on the plurality of image characteristics, image capturing instructions for capturing a set of second images;
capturing, using the pixel array of the image sensing system, the set of second images;
combining the set of second images into a third image; and
recognizing the object in the third image.
