Abstract
The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device capable of highly accurate authentication. The solid-state imaging device includes a light receiving unit and a control unit. The light receiving unit includes event-driven pixels that output the occurrence of an event on the basis of a threshold. The control unit is a control unit that controls the light receiving unit, and is configured to set a first threshold for the event-driven pixels, and, in a case where an event based on the first threshold has been detected, set a second threshold smaller than the first threshold for the event-driven pixels.
