Abstract
With an image processing method, in response to a control signal from an external device, main imaging is performed by using a predetermined main imaging parameter, main image processing is performed on the acquired image data, a result is sent to a control device, and, during the main image processing, sub-imaging is performed by using at least one sub-imaging parameter, which is different from the main imaging parameter. Sub-image processing is performed on the image data acquired by the sub-imaging, and the result is extracted. If the extracted sub-image processing result falls within a predetermined processing result criteria range, updating is performed by setting, as a new main imaging parameter, the sub-imaging parameter that has generated the processing result.
