Abstract

The present technology relates to a distance measuring device, a distance measuring method, a program, an electronic apparatus, a learning model generating method, a manufacturing method, and a depth map generating method that are designed to enable distance measurement with higher precision. The distance measuring device includes: a first determination unit that determines whether or not the difference in depth value between a first pixel in a depth map and a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel is larger than a first threshold; and a second determination unit that determines whether or not the difference in confidence between the first pixel and the second pixel is larger than a second threshold, in a case where the first determination unit determines that the difference in distance between the first pixel and the second pixel is larger than the first threshold. In a case where the second determination unit determines that the difference in confidence between the first pixel and the second pixel is larger than the second threshold, the first pixel is confirmed to be a defective pixel. The present technology can be applied to a distance measuring device, for example.
