Abstract

According to one embodiment, a ranging device includes storage and a processor. The storage is configured to store a statistical model generated by learning a bokeh that occurs in a first image affected by aberration of an optical system of a capture unit. The processor is configured to acquire a second image captured by the capture unit, acquire focus position information when the second image was captured, acquire a bokeh value indicating a bokeh of a subject in the second image, which is output from the statistical model by inputting the acquired second image to the statistical model, and convert the acquired bokeh value into a distance to the subject based on the acquired focus position information.
