Abstract
An imaging device includes a photoelectric device in which a plurality of pixels containing a photoelectric element including an avalanche photodiode are arranged in a two-dimensional array, and a processor that processes output signals of the plurality of pixels. The plurality of pixels includes a first pixel unit having imaging pixels, and a second pixel unit having at least one set of pixels including an aperture pixel and light shielded pixels that surround at least a part of the aperture pixel, and the processor uses output signals of the aperture pixel and the light shielded pixels of the set of the pixels to generate a correction pattern for correcting output signals of the imaging pixels, the correction pattern corresponding to an output pattern of the set of the aperture pixel and the light shielded pixels.
