More Information
Summary:A control device includes a processor. The processor controls an image sensor to read out first imaging signals in a first readout period, the first imaging signals being signals from a first quantity of pixels, and read out second imaging signals in a second readout period, the second imaging signals being signals from a second quantity of pixels, the second quantity being smaller than the first quantity, the second readout period being shorter than the first readout period. The processor controls a light source to emit first illumination light in a first exposure period before the first readout period, and emit second illumination light in a second exposure period before the second readout period. The processor generates a display image from the first imaging signals. The processor generates a support image from the second imaging signals. The processor generates support information based on the support image.
