Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor section and a signal processor for processing an image input from the image sensor section via a signal line. A control arithmetic unit switches the image sensor section to a recognition mode or a learning mode. The image sensor section includes an image capturing section for generating an image, and a sensor recognition section for performing, in the recognition mode, recognition processing by inputting the image to a first learning model. The signal processor includes a recognition section for performing recognition processing by inputting the image to a second learning model. The image sensor section further includes a sensor learning section for updating, in the learning mode, the first learning model, based on a recognition result obtained by the second recognition unit and input from the signal processor, and an image generated by the image capturing unit.
