1. A solid-state image capturing system, comprising:
a solid-state image capturing device; and
an information processing device, wherein
the solid-state image capturing device includes:
a first Deep-Neural-Network (DNN) processing unit that is configured to execute, on image data, a part of a DNN algorithm by a first DNN to generate a first result, and
the information processing device includes:
a second DNN processing unit that is configured to execute, on the first result acquired from the solid-state image capturing device, a remaining part of the DNN algorithm by a second DNN to generate a second result,
wherein the information processing device is configured to:
generate second control information which indicates completion of the execution of the second DNN, and
transmit the generated second control information to the solid-state image capturing device.
