A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit outputs a pixel data signal and a pixel noise signal. A voltage level of the pixel data signal is a function of an intensity of incident radiation detected in an exposure period. A voltage level of the pixel noise signal is a function of temporal noise in the pixel circuit and independent from the incident radiation. Column signal processing circuits convert the pixel data signals into digital pixel data values DS and the pixel noise signals into digital pixel noise values DR. A row noise block continuously obtains a parameter of a distribution of the pixel noise values DR and outputs a signal based on the parameter.
