Imaging apparatus, operation method of imaging apparatus, program, and imaging system

An operation method of an imaging element comprising a memory which stores image data obtained by imaging at a first frame rate, and a processor configured to output the image data from the imaging element at a second frame rate independent of the first frame rate, the operation method comprising:

• acquiring, by the processor, positional information indicating a position of an image recognition region set as a processing target of image recognition processing in the image data;
• generating, based on the positional information, partial image data that is a part of the image data and includes the image recognition region, and
• associating the positional information with the partial image data, and outputting, by the processor, the partial image data and the positional information at the second frame rate.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executable by a computer to perform a process, the computer controlling an imaging element comprising a memory which stores image data obtained by imaging at a first frame rate, and a processor configured to output the image data from the imaging element at a second frame rate independent of the first frame rate, the process comprising:

• acquiring, by the processor, positional information indicating a position of an image recognition region set as a processing target of image recognition processing in the image data;
• generating, based on the positional information, partial image data that is a part of the image data and includes the image recognition region, and
• associating the positional information with the partial image data, and outputting, by the processor, the partial image data and the positional information at the second frame rate.
