MOVING IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND IMAGE DATA PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

A capture device is equipped with a stereo camera, and generates a plurality of demosaiced images of different sizes in which the left and right frame images have been reduced in stepwise fashion. Further, by cycling through the pixel rows of the rows of the images according to a predetermined rule to produce a connected stream, there is generated a virtual composite image (222) that includes the plurality of demosaiced images, in which the pixel rows of the rows are pixel rows having undergone one round of connection. A host terminal sends to the capture device a data request signal designating a plurality of areas within the composite image, having a shared range in the longitudinal direction. The capture device clips out the designated areas, and sends to the host terminal a stream of a new composite image (240) comprising only the clipped out areas. The host terminal cuts this into separate images, which are expanded into consecutive addresses in a main memory (42).
