Abstract
An imaging system includes a plurality of pixels each including a sensor unit configured to output pulses corresponding to photons and a counter configured to count the number of pulses. The imaging system generates a signal on the basis of a difference between count values of the counter when a storage period starts and when the storage period ends, performs storage operations of a first storage period and a second storage period within one full-frame period, and performs a control process in which the first storage period is shorter than the second storage period and a signal generated in the first storage period is output between an end of the first storage period and an end of the second storage period. The imaging system performs a recognition process on the basis of the generated signal and changes a recognition frequency on the basis of driving state information about a driving state of a movable apparatus.
