1. An apparatus comprising:
an event-based capture sensor, electrically connected to a controller,
wherein the event-based capture sensor is configured to generate an event-based image, and
wherein each event-based pixel of the event-based image is generated asynchronously based on a change in brightness; and
a standard illuminance capture sensor, electrically connected to the controller,
wherein the standard illuminance capture sensor is configured to generate a standard illuminance image, and
wherein each illuminance pixel of the standard illuminance image is generated based a number of photons received at the standard illuminance capture sensor during an integration time;
wherein the controller comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including program code, the at least one memory and the program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the controller to at least:
deactivate the standard illuminance capture sensor, such that no standard illuminance images are generated;
receive, from the event-based capture sensor, the event-based image;
detect an object of interest in the event-based image;
upon detection of the object of interest, activate the standard illuminance capture sensor, based at least in part on a classification of the object of interest; and
receive, from the standard illuminance capture sensor, the standard illuminance image.

10. A computer-implemented method for capturing imagery data, the method comprising:
deactivating a standard illuminance capture sensor, such that no standard illuminance images are generated, wherein the standard illuminance capture sensor is configured to generate a standard illuminance image, and wherein each illuminance pixel of the standard illuminance image is generated based a number of photons received at the standard illuminance capture sensor during an integration time;
receiving, from an event-based capture sensor, an event-based image,
wherein each event-based pixel of the event-based image is generated asynchronously based on a change in brightness;
detecting an object of interest in the event-based image;
upon detection of the object of interest, activating the standard illuminance capture sensor, based at least in part on a classification of the object of interest; and
receiving, from the standard illuminance capture sensor, the standard illuminance image.

17. A computer program product for preserving privacy when capturing imagery data, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:
deactivate a standard illuminance capture sensor, such that no standard illuminance images are generated, wherein the standard illuminance capture sensor is configured to generate a standard illuminance image, and wherein each illuminance pixel of the standard illuminance image is generated based a number of photons received at the standard illuminance capture sensor during an integration time;
receive, from an event-based capture sensor, an event-based image,
wherein each event-based pixel of the event-based image is generated asynchronously based on a change in brightness;
detect an object of interest in the event-based image;
upon detection of the object of interest, activate the standard illuminance capture sensor, based at least in part on a classification of the object of interest; and
receive, from the standard illuminance capture sensor, the standard illuminance image.
