Abstract
A distance measuring device according to one embodiment includes a light emitter, a light receiver, and a measurement section. The measurement section is configured to: generate a weighted value based on a degree of similarity of values of first and second portions, or a degree of similarity of values of first and second bottom portions; generate a third digital signal obtained by adding the second digital signal to the first digital signal based on the weighted value; and calculate a distance value from an object based on a position of a third portion.
