Abstract
An imaging device () according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of image sensors (sensors, and) that output detection results to a processing device by sharing one signal line. At least one of the image sensors (sensors, and) includes an imaging unit (), a recognition unit (), and an output unit (). The imaging unit () captures an image to generate image data. The recognition unit () recognizes a predetermined target object from the image data. The output unit () outputs the recognition result of the recognition unit () to the processing device in a period that does not overlap with a period in which the detection result of each of other image sensors is output using the signal line in one frame period in which the imaging unit () captures one image.
