Abstract
Image data captured from a traveling vehicle is considered, and it is not possible to reduce the transmission band of the image data. It is assumed that a radarmounted in a traveling vehicledetects a certain distant three-dimensional object at a time T in a direction of a distance d1 [m] and an angle θ1. Since the vehicletravels at a vehicle speed Y [km/h], it is predicted that a camerais capable of capturing the distant three-dimensional object at a time (T+ΔT) and an angle ϕ1 or at a distance d2 [m]. Therefore, if a control unitoutputs a request to the camerain advance, so as to cut out an image of the angle ϕ1 or the distance d2 [m] at the time (T+ΔT), when the time (T+ΔT) comes, the cameratransfers a whole image and a high-resolution image being a cutout image of only a partial image, to the control unit
