Abstract
Provided is a distance measuring device including a light emitting unit that emits irradiation light, a light receiving unit that receives reflected light of the irradiation light reflected by an object, a calculation unit that calculates a distance to the object, on the basis of the time from emission of the irradiation light to reception of the reflected light, and a control unit that controls the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit. The control unit controls first imaging that causes the light receiving unit to perform exposure for a first exposure time, and second imaging that causes the light receiving unit to perform exposure for a second exposure time. The calculation unit calculates the distance, using a signal obtained by the first imaging and a signal obtained by the second imaging. The present technology can be applied to a distance measuring device that measures a distance to a predetermined object, for example.
