Claim:
1. A moving image capturing device comprising: an image data generation circuit configured to generate a plurality of pieces of image data from each frame image of a moving image obtained by capturing an image of a target object, and configured to sequentially output the image data as a stream for each single horizontal row of pixels; an image synthesis circuit configured to cyclically connect the plurality of pieces of image data, which is output from the image data generation circuit, for each single horizontal row of pixels or for each row of pixels for a range smaller than the single horizontal row, and configured to output resultant data as a stream so as to generate a virtual synthesized image which includes the plurality of images and in which a row of pixels that results when a connection cycle is completed is defined as a horizontal row of pixels; and an image transmission circuit configured to receive, from a connected host terminal, a request to transmit data specifying a plurality of rectangular areas having a common vertical range in the virtual synthesized image, configured to crop out ranges corresponding to the rectangular areas for each row of pixels of the virtual synthesized image output by the image synthesis circuit, configured to connect the ranges, and configured to transmit as a stream to the host terminal.
