Abstract: An image data management method of managing image data includes an image capturing step of capturing an image of an object by an image capturing portion, a storage priority obtaining step of obtaining a storage priority of the image data, an imparting step of associating the image data obtained by the image capturing portion with the storage priority obtained for the image data and storing the image data and the storage priority in a storage device, and an updating step of, in a case where the object whose image is captured by the image capturing portion is in a specific state, updating, on a basis of detection of the specific state, a storage priority associated with image data including image data stored in the storage device before image data in which the object is determined as being in the specific state is stored.

Abstract: A system includes an information processing device. The information processing device is configured to acquire an image group from each of a plurality of cameras. The image group includes a plurality of images of an object that moves relative to each of the plurality of cameras. The plurality of images are captured by a corresponding camera at predetermined intervals and having different image capture times. The information processing device is configured to calculate an amount of movement of the object relative to each of the plurality of cameras, based on the image group acquired from each of the plurality of cameras. The information processing device is configured to detect a lag between image capture timings of the plurality of cameras, by using the amount of movement of the object relative to each of the plurality of cameras.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide an image photographing method makes it possible to photograph a moving object at a desired photographing position without increasing the size of an image to be processed. The image photographing method includes a first photographing step in which a camera controller carries out continuous photographing in a first image quality, an estimation calculation step for estimating a timing at which the object to be photographed passes through a predetermined desired position range on the basis of a plurality of positions of the object to be photographed, the plurality of positions being obtained from the images photographed by the camera controller in the first photographing step, and a second photographing step in which the camera controller carries out photographing at the passing timing in a second image quality finer than the first image quality.
