Abstract
A product-sum operation can be efficiently performed without increasing a pixel size. An imaging device includes: a pixel array unit in which a plurality of pixels that perform photoelectric conversion are arranged in directions in two dimensions; and an arithmetic operation unit configured to repeat a product-sum operation by selecting two or more of the pixels that have not been selected and are not adjacent to each other inside the pixel array unit.
