Solid-state imaging device, imaging apparatus, and imaging method for generating images based on a frequency of photons and having overlapping imaging periods

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• a solid-state imaging device, comprising a sensor configured to generate a pulse at a frequency corresponding to a light receiving frequency of photon, and a generator configured to generate a first imaging signal on the basis of a number of pulses corresponding to a first imaging period, and to generate a second imaging signal on the basis of the number of pulses corresponding to a second imaging period, at least a part of which overlaps with the first imaging period;
• and
• a controller configured to subjecting the first and second signals to a predetermined processing.

An imaging method comprising the steps of

• generating a first imaging signal on the basis of a number of pulses which are generated from a sensor at a frequency corresponding to a light receiving frequency of photons and corresponding to a first imaging period;
• and
• generating a second imaging signal on the basis of the number of pulses which are generated from the sensor and correspond to a second imaging period at least a part of which overlaps with the first imaging period.
