Inspection-target-image transmission system, inspection-target-image transmission method, and program

An inspection-target-image transmission system that transmits an image of an inspection target, the image having been captured by a camera, comprising a processing circuitry that performs operations including:

• periodically checking, with the camera, whether or not there exist an imaging condition instruction and a trimming condition instruction in storage locations for the respective instructions;
• changing, with the camera, the imaging condition and capture an image of an inspection target based on the existing imaging condition instruction;
• updating, with the camera the trimming condition and trim the image of the inspection target, the image having been captured by the camera, based on the existing trimming condition instruction;
• selecting a combination of a standby communication mode for keeping the camera on standby and a transmission communication mode for transmitting the trimmed image of the inspection target based on a previously set initial consumption current;
• switching, with the camera, from a standby communication mode to a transmission communication mode and transmit the trimmed image of the inspection target;
• and
• switching back, with the camera, from the transmission communication mode to the standby communication mode when the image transmission is completed.
