Publication number: 20250151428Abstract: An imaging device capable of image processing is provided. The imaging device can retain analog data (image data) obtained by an image-capturing operation in a pixel and perform a product-sum operation of the analog data and a predetermined weight coefficient in the pixel to convert the data into binary data. When the binary data is taken in a neural network or the like, processing such as image recognition can be performed. Since enormous volumes of image data can be retained in pixels in the state of analog data, processing can be performed efficiently.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Takayuki IKEDA, Yoshiyuki KUROKAWA, Shintaro HARADA, Hidetomo KOBAYASHI, Roh YAMAMOTO, Kiyotaka KIMURA, Takashi NAKAGAWA, Yusuke NEGORO
