Sensor and control method

Abstract

The present technology relates to a sensor that detects an event which is a change in electric signal of a pixel and a control method, with which it is possible to suppress a situation where an unnatural image is obtained. An event which is a change of an electric signal of a pixel that receives light and performs photoelectric conversion to generate the electric signal is detected, and the electric signal of the pixel is read according to a voltage change in a capacitance reset to a prescribed voltage, the change being based on the electric signal of the pixel. In this case, the electric signal of an event detection pixel, among the pixels, where the event has been detected and the electric signal of a peripheral pixel, among the pixels, disposed on the periphery of the event detection pixel are read. The present technology is applicable to a sensor for detecting an event which is a change of an electric signal of a pixel, for example.
