CPC H04N 23/695 (2023.01) [H04N 23/661 (2023.01)] | 7 Claims |
1. An imaging device comprising:
an imaging unit configured to output an image signal by performing imaging processing;
an imaging time information storage unit configured to store imaging time information for which an imaging time is calculated for each imaging direction implemented by the imaging unit, with respect to the imaging processing performed by the imaging unit in the past; and
a distribution information generation unit configured to sequentially acquire frames from the image signal, cut out partial image information of a preset cutout range from the respective acquired frames, and generate distribution image information, wherein
the distribution information generation unit
specifies the imaging direction with the longest imaging time at a predetermined determination timing, from among the imaging time information stored in the imaging time information storage unit,
determines whether the partial image information of the cutout range in a frame acquired when the specified imaging direction is captured is included in an imaging angle of view implemented during current imaging processing, and
when it is determined as being included, cuts out a range corresponding to the partial image information of the cutout range acquired when the specified imaging direction is captured, from a frame to be acquired subsequently, thereby generating the distribution image; information.
