An imaging device comprising a plurality of pixels and a processing unit. The plurality of pixels includes (i) a light-receiving pixel arranged to receive incident light and output a light signal based on the incident light, and (ii) a reference pixel arranged to output a pixel signal for configuring a failure detection signal. The processing unit is arranged to determine whether or not the failure detection signal is correct based on abnormality information indicating the abnormality of the reference pixel.
