Abstract

This makes it easy to combine multiple image data acquired from imaging different fields of view. [Solution] The workpiece measurement device 1, which serves as an image data output device, includes a camera device 4, a moving mechanism 5, and a control unit 6. The camera device 4 images the workpiece W in a first field of view and a second field of view different from the first field of view. The moving mechanism 5 moves the workpiece W relatively so that it passes through the first field of view followed by the second field of view. The camera device 4 includes an image memory 63 for storing acquired image data and an image reading unit 44 as an output unit. The image reading unit 44 offsets the reading timing of the first image data or the second image data so that it simultaneously reads out the first image data, in which the workpiece W is the point of interest, and the second image data, in which the point of interest is the same as the second field of view, and outputs them to the control unit 6.
