1. An imaging device, comprising:
an image sensor that outputs an image signal;
an image processor that outputs image data based on the image signal;
an image compressor that generates compressed image data from the image data;
an input interface (I/F) that acquires distance data that indicates a sensing result of a distance value associated with a plurality of pixels;
a signal processor that performs signal processing for the compressed image data and the distance data and outputs a signal processing result;
an output control processor that performs output control of at least one of the image data or the signal processing result without the image data to outside of the imaging device via an output I/F,
wherein the image sensor, the input I/F, the signal processor, and the output control processor are disposed on a chip; and
a rectifier that aligns the compressed image with a sensor image associated with the distance data to be in parallel to each other.
