Abstract
A control apparatus acquires a captured image from a camera including an imaging unit, including an image sensor, that generates the captured image. A control unit is provided in the control apparatus and executes, using a processor, a process based on the captured image. The control apparatus receives input of an abnormality signal indicating an abnormality in the imaging unit detected by the camera. When the input of the abnormality signal is received, the control unit performs a process to handle the abnormality in the imaging unit indicated by the abnormality signal. The abnormality indicated by the abnormality signal is an error that has occurred in setting values stored in a storage means provided in the camera. The setting values are used for signal processing including a pixel defect correction and a noise removal process performed with respect to pixel values of the captured image.
