Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging device according to an embodiment includes: a pixel array section () that includes a plurality of pixels that are arranged in a matrix array and each generate a pixel signal corresponding to light received by exposure, and outputs image data of each of the pixel signals generated by the plurality of pixels at a frame cycle; a signature generating section () that generates signature data on the basis of the image data; and an output control section () that controls output of the image data and the signature data, and the signature generating section generates the signature data by thinning the image data output at the frame cycle in a unit of thinning that is based on the frame cycle.
