Original Abstract Submitted
A photoelectric conversion device is provided. The device includes a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element, a plurality of calculators, and a processor. The plurality of pixels and the plurality of calculators are respectively arranged in a two-dimensional array. For the plurality of pixels, each pixel group of pixel groups composed of not less than two pixels of the plurality of pixels is connected to a corresponding calculator of the plurality of calculators, and each pixel group outputs a spiking signal generated by a pixel in a pixel group of the pixel groups to the corresponding calculator of the plurality of calculators. Each of the plurality of calculators executes calculation for the spiking signal, and the processor processes a calculation result input from each of the plurality of calculators.
