Abstract

To prevent generation of an invalid frame while suppressing power consumption. An image processing device including an ADC unit including a plurality of ADCs configured to convert a pixel signal read from an image sensor from an analog format to a digital format, and a selection unit configured to select the number of used ADCs, which is the number of ADCs used, among the plurality of ADCs on the basis of a decimation rate of pixels in reading of the pixel signal from the image sensor, in which the number of used ADCs and the decimation rate are switched such that a product of the number of used ADCs and the decimation rate is maintained to be a constant state.
