Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing portion, a controller to perform image processing to obtain a feature value from image data, and a storage device to accumulate the image data. In an image capturing period of capturing an image of the target object by the image capturing portion, the controller transmits a result of the image processing to a data management server while accumulating the captured image data the storage device, while in an image capturing suspension period of not performing image capturing, the controller transmits the image data accumulated in the storage device to the data management server.
Claims33
A device comprising:
- an image capturing portion configured to perform image capturing;
- and
- an image processing portion configured to perform image processing on captured image data,
- wherein the device is configured to transmit first image data corresponding to a first image and second image data corresponding to a second image after transmitting a first result and a second result, the first result being not image data but a result of image processing by the image processing portion on the first image data, the second result being not image data but a result of image processing by the image processing portion on the second image data,
- wherein the device is configured to transmit the first result and the second result in a first period and to transmit the first image data and the second image data in a second period after the first period, and
- wherein the image capturing portion is configured to perform image capturing in the first period and to suspend image capturing in the second period.
A device comprising:
- an image capturing portion configured to perform image capturing;
- and
- an image processing portion configured to perform image processing on captured image data,
- wherein the device is configured to transmit a first result and a second result via a first network in a first period, and
- wherein the device is configured to transmit first image data corresponding to a first image and second image data corresponding to a second image via a second network different from the first network in a second period after the first period, the second period being a period after capturing for obtaining the first image data and capturing for obtaining the second image data are performed, the first result being not image data but a result of image processing by the image processing portion on the first image data, and the second result being not image data but a result of image processing by the image processing portion on the second image data, and
- wherein the image capturing portion is configured to perform image capturing in the first period and to suspend image capturing in the second period.
