A transmission device according to the present disclosure includes: a data generator configured to generate image data including, as image information, pixel value information obtained by imaging pixels and control information; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data.

Transmission device, reception device, and communication system

A transmission device according to the present disclosure includes: a transmission unit configured to output, to a transmission channel, a plurality of packets each including a payload and a header added to the payload, the payload including pixel data corresponding to one line included in an image of one frame; and an insertion ratio calculator configured to calculate an insertion ratio of a padding code, the padding code being inserted into the payload to fill a difference between a transmission rate of the pixel data that is inputted to the transmission unit and a transmission rate of the pixel data that is outputted from the transmission unit to the transmission channel.

Transmission device, reception device, and transmission system with padding code insertion

A transmission device includes an image processing unit that controls transmission of a first packet including region information regarding a region detected from an image and controls transmission of a second packet for each of lines in which at least the region has been detected in the image. The second packet comprises a header including information regarding the line, and a payload including region data concerning a partial region corresponding to the line, out of the region, in which the header includes: identification information of the data included in the payload; an error correction code of the information included in the header; and an extension region provided so as to be interposed between the identification information and the error correction code, and information indicating whether or not the region data is included in the payload corresponding to the header is set in at least a part of the extension region.

There is provided a transmission device including: an image processing unit that sets region information corresponding to a region set in an image for each of rows in the image and causes the set region information and region data corresponding to the region to be transmitted for each row. The region information includes information indicating a position of the row and information indicating a position of a column of the region included in the row.

Transmission device

An image outputting apparatus includes a header production section for producing a header including header information formed from first and second frame information regarding whether pixel data included in a payload are of first and last lines of one frame, respectively, first line information regarding whether or not the pixel data included in the payload are valid, and second line information regarding a line number of a line formed from the pixel data included in the payload, and an error detection code for use for detection of an error of the header information. A packet production section produces a packet which includes, in the payload thereof, pixel data for one line which configure an image obtained by imaging by an imaging section and to which the header is added. An outputting section outputs the produced packet to an image processing apparatus.
