1. An imaging system comprising:
a first camera configured to receive a trigger signal directly from a trigger generation circuit independent from a controller;
a second camera configured to receive the trigger signal directly from the trigger generation circuit independent from the controller;
a memory configured to hold first image data captured by the first camera in response to receipt of the trigger signal and second image data captured by the second camera in response to receipt of the trigger signal; and
a plurality of processors configured to process the first image data and the second image data held in the memory,
wherein the trigger signal is a signal generated to allow the first camera and the second camera to start capturing an image at the same time point,
wherein the trigger generation circuit performs hardware processing on a signal received from a sensor to transmit to the first camera and the second camera,
wherein the plurality of processors perform recognition processing of a target included in the first image data and the second image data.
