摘要: A photon counting device includes: a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element and an amplifier amplifying charge to which input light is converted by the photoelectric conversion element and converting the amplified charge to a voltage; an A/D converter converting a voltage output from the amplifier of each of the plurality of pixels to a digital value; a first derivation unit configured to derive a provisional value of photon number in each of the plurality of pixels based on the digital value; and a second derivation unit configured to derive a confirmed value of photon number in a target pixel based on a first probability associated with a photon number distribution and a second probability associated with reading noise.
