PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a function to be improved by using high-speed reading in a shorter period than an output period of an image.SOLUTION: An imaging device includes: a pixel array part in which pixels are arranged in matrix; a control unit for controlling image reading of the pixel array part. The control unit executes image reading of the pixel array part twice or more within a period when one image is output to the outside. This technology can be applied to, for example, an imaging device with a memory region or the like.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】画像の出力周期よりも短い期間での高速読み出しを用いて機能を向上させることができるようにする。【解決手段】撮像素子は、画素が行列状に配置された画素アレイ部と、画素アレイ部の画像の読み出しを制御する制御部とを備え、制御部は、１枚の画像を外部に出力する周期内で、画素アレイ部の画像の読み出しを２回以上行わせる。本技術は、例えば、メモリ領域を備える撮像素子等に適用できる。【選択図】図１
