Abstract
(EN)
According to the present disclosure, the imaging device is provided with: a detection unit for detecting a specific region within a pickup image as a region of interest; a control unit for performing control such that pixel signals are read at a first pixel resolution from a region including the region of interest, and pixel signals are read at a second pixel resolution lower than the first pixel resolution from a region not including the region of interest; and an analog-digital conversion unit for converting the pixel signals read under the control of the control unit into digital signals.
(FR)
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'imagerie comprenant : une unité de détection pour détecter une région spécifique à l'intérieur d'une image capturée, en tant qu’une région d'intérêt ; une unité de commande pour exécuter une commande telle que des signaux de pixel sont lus à une première résolution de pixel à partir d'une région comprenant la région d'intérêt, et que des signaux de pixel sont lus à une seconde résolution de pixel inférieure à la première résolution de pixel à partir d'une région ne comprenant pas la région d'intérêt ; et une unité de conversion analogique-numérique pour convertir en signaux numériques les signaux de pixel lus sous le contrôle de l'unité de commande.
(JA)
本開示の撮像装置は、撮像画像内の特定の領域を関心領域として検出する検出部、関心領域を含む領域に対して、第１の画素解像度で画素信号を読み出すとともに、関心領域を含まない領域に対して、第１の画素解像度よりも低い第２の画素解像度で画素信号を読み出す制御を行う制御部、及び、制御部による制御によって読み出された画素信号をデジタル信号に変換するアナログ－デジタル変換部を備える。
