ABSTRACT:
When successively reading out pixel information from an image region, where image pickup devices are arranged two-dimensionally, which is divided into a plurality of sub-regions, a readout unit inserts pixel information on pixels of interest in the respective sub-regions successively at predetermined intervals and reads them out. A control unit generates a frame from the pixel information, on pixels of interest inserted at the predetermined intervals, which has been read out from the readout unit. The control unit grasps a tendency of a picked-up image from the generated frame and performs a predetermined adaptive control according to the grasped tendency.
