Abstract:
1. An imaging system comprising: an image data output unit including an output-side processing section for performing a plurality of processing operations on image data; an imaging unit including an imaging-side processing section for performing a given processing operation on image data outputted from the output-side processing section of the image data output unit and an imaging operation section for performing an imaging operation based on image data outputted from the imaging-side processing section; and an image processing allocation section for comparing information of an amount of data to be transferred per unit time of processed image data that will result when the plurality of processing operations are performed on the image data at the output-side processing section with information of a transferable amount of data transmission per unit time between the image data output unit and the imaging unit, and allocating each of the processing operations to the output-side processing section or the imaging-side processing section based on a result of the comparison, wherein the output-side processing section and the imaging-side processing section perform the processing operations allocated thereto by the image processing allocation section.
