Abstract:
An imaging device includes: an imaging element including a photoelectric conversion member that generates charge due to an internal photoelectric effect when receiving light at a voltage in a first predetermined range, and generates no charge due to the internal photoelectric effect when receiving light at a voltage in a second predetermined range, and a plurality of pixel circuits that accumulate, in each pixel, the charge generated by the photoelectric conversion member, the imaging element outputting a frame image based on an amount of charge accumulated in the plurality of pixel circuits; a voltage controller that controls a voltage to be applied to the photoelectric conversion member; and a corrector that performs correction on at least a part of one or more frame images output from the imaging element to reduce dark current signal components.
