Abstract
The present technology relates to a distance measuring device and a distance measuring method that enable distance measurement with an extended measurable distance range. The distance measuring device includes a control unit that controls a light emitting unit that emits irradiation light and a light receiving unit that receives reflected light of the irradiation light reflected by an object. In a first mode, control is performed on first imaging. In a second mode, control is performed on the first imaging, the second imaging, and third imaging. The distance is calculated from a first signal obtained by the first imaging and a second signal obtained by the second imaging, or the distance is calculated from the first signal, the second signal, and a third signal obtained by the third imaging.
