Abstract
An image recognition device includes: a plurality of first charge storage circuits that store signal charges generated by photoelectric conversion sections; a plurality of second charge storage circuits that store signal charges generated by the photoelectric conversion sections; a first charge read circuit section that reads a pixel signal and outputs an image as a first image; a second charge read circuit section that reads a pixel signal and outputs an image as a second image; a read circuit selection section that selects one of the first charge read circuit section and the second charge read circuit section; and a feature amount determination section, wherein the feature amount determination section determines a detection target subject according to a feature amount of a subject in the second image, and whether to perform the determination for a subject in the first image is determined based on the determination result.
