Abstract
An apparatus includes a pixel array in which pixels including first, second, and third pixels are arranged. In a top plan view of the pixel array, the first and second pixels are arranged along a first direction, and the first pixel is away from the second pixel in a positive direction of the first direction. The first and third pixels are arranged along a second direction and are connected to a first line. The second pixel is connected to a second line. The first and second lines are connected to first and second processing circuits, respectively. The first and second processing circuits are arranged along the first direction, and the first processing circuit is away from the second processing circuit in a negative direction of the first direction. Calculation processing is performed on outputs from the first and second lines.
