circuitry configured to

acquire captured image data of a subject; and

associate a plurality of time points of the image data and a plurality of time points of event information based on sensor time information, the event information acquired based on sensor information acquired in time series by a sensor apparatus and indicating occurrence of an operation of the sensor apparatus.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the circuitry is configured to acquire the sensor time information based on a predetermined operation of the sensor apparatus that is detected in the image data.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2, wherein

the predetermined operation coincides with a time defined by a clock of the sensor apparatus.

4. The information processing system according to claim 2,

wherein the predetermined operation indicates that the occurrence of an event is detected by the sensor apparatus.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the circuitry is configured to acquire the sensor time information based on information received from the sensor apparatus while the image data is being captured.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5, wherein

7. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the circuitry is configured to adjust a fixed-value deviation between the plurality of time points of the image data and the plurality of time points of the event information based on the sensor time information at at least one time point.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the circuitry is configured to adjust a linear deviation between the plurality of time points of the image data and the plurality of time points event information based on the sensor time information at at least two time points.

9. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein

the circuitry is configured to associate the plurality of time points of the image data and the plurality of time points of the event information by comparing a time of occurrence of a first event group detected in the image data with a time of occurrence of a second event group defined by the event information.

10. The information processing system according to claim 9, wherein

the circuitry is configured to set parameters for modifying the plurality of time points of the event information to obtain a highest correlation between the time of occurrence of the first event group and the time of occurrence of the second event group.
