Abstract
In an image sensor, high-speed recognition processing is performed using high-speed image data, which is different from low-speed image data used for displaying. In the image sensor, an imaging element captures an image of an object and generates frames of image data arranged in time series. A binarization processing unit performs binarization processing on each of the frames to generate binarized frames. A tracking processing unit generates a difference between binarized frames adjacent in time series and tracks a change in a position of the object included in the binarized frames.
