Abstract
The present technology relates to a distance measuring sensor, a signal processing method, and a distance measuring module that enable calculation of distance information and outdoor judgment to be performed by the distance measuring sensor alone. The distance measuring sensor includes a distance measuring unit that calculates distance information to an object from a signal obtained by a light receiving unit that receives reflected light obtained by reflection of irradiation light emitted from a predetermined light emitting source by the object, an ambient light calculation unit that calculates an ambient light component included in the signal obtained by the light receiving unit, and an outdoor information calculation unit that calculates outdoor information on the basis of the ambient light component. The present technology can be applied to, for example, for example, a distance measuring module or the like that measures the distance to a subject.
