Abstract
An imaging element includes: an imaging unit in which a plurality of pixel groups including a plurality of pixels that output pixel signals according to incident light are formed, and on which incident light corresponding to mutually different pieces of image information is incident; a control unit that controls, for each of the pixel groups, a period of accumulating in the plurality of pixels included in the pixel group; and a readout unit that is provided to each of the pixel groups, and reads out the pixel signals from the plurality of pixels included in the pixel group.
Claims1
An image sensor comprising:
- a first photoelectric conversion unit that converts, into electrical charges, light from a first filter having a first spectral characteristic;
- a second photoelectric conversion unit that converts, into electrical charges, light from a second filter having a second spectral characteristic, the second photoelectric conversion unit being arranged in a row direction side from the first photoelectric conversion unit;
- and
- a drive unit that performs a control such that an accumulation period of accumulating the electrical charges converted in the first photoelectric conversion unit is different from an accumulation period of accumulating the electrical charges converted in the second photoelectric conversion unit.
