Abstract
Image processing with reduced power consumption is disclosed. In one example, an imaging device includes a first substrate with a pixel array that outputs a pixel signal obtained by photoelectrically converting incident light in a first direction. A second substrate includes a memory array that outputs a convolution signal indicating a result of a product-sum operation of an input signal based on the pixel signal in a second direction. The first substrate and the second substrate at least partially overlap each other.
