Capturing device, capturing system and capturing method
First Claim
1. An automotive camera system for use in a vehicle, comprising:
- a memory configured to store a setting value for enlarging an image generated by an image sensor when the automotive camera system is in a powered on state; and
circuitry operable when the automotive camera system is in the powered on state and configured tocontrol generation of an enlarged image of a specific region of the image generated by the image sensor in response to an input instruction, the amount of enlargement determined by the stored setting value;
control display of information corresponding to the enlarged specific region, the information representing a state that a displayed image is enlarged;
control output of the enlarged image of the specific region;
andcontrol output of the image generated by the image sensor when the automotive camera system is changed to the powered on state.

Abstract
A capturing device includes an image sensor that generates an image signal by performing photoelectric conversion for light from a subject, a control unit that generates a setting value for setting a range where an image resulting from the image signal is cut, based on a first instruction input from a user, a setting value storage unit that stores the setting value generated by the control unit, an image conversion unit that reads the setting value from the setting value storage unit, and cuts a specific region specified by the setting value from the image and enlarges the cut region, when there is a second instruction input from the user, and an output unit that converts a signal of the image cut and enlarged by the image conversion unit into an image signal of a predetermined format and outputs the converted image signal.

15. A method for processing an image signal from an image sensor in an automotive camera system, comprising:
-
generating an enlarged image of a specific region of an image generated by the image sensor in response to an input instruction, the amount of enlargement determined by a stored setting value; controlling display of information corresponding to the enlarged specific region, the information representing a state that a displayed image is enlarged; controlling output of the enlarged image of the specific region; and outputting the image generated by the image sensor when the automotive camera system is changed to a powered on state. - View Dependent Claims (16)
