Abstract
Provided is an imaging device that includes a plurality of pixels, a memory unit, a memory control unit, and a bus interface. Each of the memory unit, the plurality of pixels, the memory control unit, and the bus interface is in any one of a plurality of semiconductor substrates. The plurality of pixels performs photoelectric conversion. The memory unit stores image data generated on the basis of a result of the photoelectric conversion. The memory control unit performs a read operation on the basis of first internal address information. The read operation is for reading, from the memory unit, image data corresponding to the first internal address information among pieces of the image data. The bus interface performs communication for first address information with an external device, supplies the memory control unit with the first internal address information, and transmits the read image data to the external device.
