Abstract
Reduction in distance measurement accuracy is decreased. A distance measuring device according to embodiments includes an array () in which a plurality of light-receiving elements each configured to detect incidence of a photon are arranged, a read circuit () configured to read a detection signal from each of the light-receiving elements, and a plurality of computing units (-to-) configured to generate depth information on a distance to an object present in an angle of view in different regions in the array, based on the detection signals read from the light-receiving elements belonging to the different regions. The computing units generate the depth information using computation coefficients (-to-) at least partially different from each other.
