Image capturing device and vehicle control system
Fabrication processing is executed in a chip of an image sensor. An image capturing device includes an image capturing unit ( 11 ) mounted on a vehicle and configured to generate image data by performing image capturing of a peripheral region of the vehicle, a scene recognition unit ( 214 ) configured to recognize a scene of the peripheral region based on the image data, and a drive control unit ( 12 ) configured to control drive of the image capturing unit based on the scene recognized by the scene recognition unit.
1. An imaging device mounted on a vehicle, the imaging device comprising:
a pixel array; and
circuitry configured to:
generate first image data by performing image capturing of a peripheral region of the vehicle;
calculate illuminance in the peripheral region based on the first image data;
generate a control signal;
recognize a scene of the peripheral region based on the first image data and the control signal;
generate image data having a first resolution when the calculated illuminance exceeds a predetermined threshold; and
generate image data having a second resolution when the calculated illuminance does not exceed the predetermined threshold, wherein the second resolution is lower than the first resolution.
2. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:
execute signal processing on the first image data; and
calculate the illuminance in the peripheral region based on the first image data on which the signal processing is executed.
3. The imaging device according to claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:
output the first image data on which the signal processing is executed.
4. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the pixel array is disposed in a first substrate, and
the circuitry is disposed in a second substrate laminated on the first substrate.
5. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the pixel array comprises a plurality of pixels arrayed in a matrix of rows and columns.
