  • Publication number: 20230054986
    Abstract: An imaging device capable of image processing is provided. The imaging device has an image recognition function. In the imaging device, cells have a function of acquiring imaging data and a function of retaining weight data. Among the cells arranged in a matrix, some of the cells acquire imaging data and the rest of the cells retain weight data.

For example, all the imaging data can be subjected to arithmetic operation where products of the imaging data and the weight data are calculated and the sum of the calculated products is calculated. That is, product-sum operation can be performed. When an arithmetic operation result is captured by a neural network such as a convolutional neural network (CNN) or the like, the additional function can be used because image processing can be performed on the imaging data.
