Abstract
A light source unit, a light receiving unit that includes a distance image sensor in which a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion device generating electric charge corresponding to incident light and a plurality of electric charge accumulating units accumulating the electric charge and dividing and accumulating the electric charge among the electric charge accumulating units at a predetermined accumulation timing are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix pattern, a distance image processing unit that is configured to acquire a distance from a subject present in the space that is an imaging target, and a timing determining unit that is configured to determine the accumulation timing in the measurement time interval on the basis of an electric charge amount in each of the electric charge accumulating units in an inspection time interval in which the light pulse is not emitted at the accumulation timing are provided.
