<p>According to the invention, there is provided an image transmission method from an image sensor which collects a fixed number of pixel data items obtained by a plurality of imaging elements into a data block, and outputs the pixel data items, the method including a transmission region setting step of setting an interest region by using a unit lower than the fixed number, a region extension step of extending the interest region so as to obtain an extension interest region in which the data block is represented as a unit and obtaining extension ranges from the interest region to the extension interest region, an imaging step of performing imaging with the image sensor, an output step of outputting the data block included in the extension interest region from the image sensor, and an extension range erasing step of erasing pixel data of the extension ranges from the output data block so as to obtain an image of the interest region. Accordingly, since any interest region which is a transmission target can be set in an imaging region of the image sensor, and the method is also suitable for a case where a plurality of interest regions overlap each other, it is possible to reduce required transmission time.</p> |
