Abstract
An image capturing unit comprises a photoelectric conversion element configured to detect an address event indicating a change in luminance in each pixel address, an integration unit configured to generate a frame image based on an integrated value obtained by integrating an address event for each pixel, and a determination unit configured to determine whether an integrated value has reached a predetermined threshold value. The determination unit is configured to stop integration in the integration unit when it determines that the integrated value has reached a predetermined threshold value.
