Image capturing system and control method of image capturing system

An image capturing system comprising:

• a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix and defining a pixel area;
• a plurality of processors that process an image signal read out from the pixel area;
• a generation circuit that generates a plurality of readout pixel patterns having a plurality of different pixel densities and nonuniform pixel patterns used for reading out a signal from the plurality of pixels;
• a setting circuit that sets one of the plurality of pixel densities for each of a plurality of divided regions obtained by dividing the pixel area;
• and
• a controller that controls to read out an image signal from each of the plurality of divided regions using the readout pixel pattern corresponding to the pixel density set by the setting circuit,
• wherein the controller reduces power supply to the processor corresponding to a pixel from which a signal is not read out of the pixel area on the basis of the readout pixel patterns for the plurality of divided regions.

A control method of the image capturing system that has a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix and defining a pixel area, a plurality of processors that process an image signal read out from the pixel area, and a generation circuit that generates a plurality of readout pixel patterns having a plurality of different pixel densities and nonuniform pixel patterns used for reading out a signal from the plurality of pixels, the method comprising:

• setting one of the plurality of pixel densities for each of a plurality of divided regions obtained by dividing the pixel area;
• and
• controlling to read out an image signal from each of the plurality of divided regions using the readout pixel pattern corresponding to the set pixel density,
• wherein the pixel density is set for each of the plurality of divided regions such that a higher pixel density is set to a divided region where image capturing processing with higher image quality is to be performed among the plurality of divided regions.
