Abstract
An imaging system includes an imaging device, a recognition device, a focus detector, a correcting device, and a selecting device. The imaging device is configured to capture an image formed by an imaging optics. The recognition device is configured to recognize a target object candidate in the image captured by the imaging device. The focus detector is configured to detect a focus adjustment state of the imaging optics. The correcting device is configured to obtain a magnification of an image of the target object candidate and configured to correct the magnification based on the focus adjustment state with respect to the target object candidate detected by the focus detector. The selecting device is configured to select a target object from the target object candidate based on the corrected magnification corrected by the correcting device.
