Abstract
An object is to effectively take measures against erroneous measurement of distance measurement information based on a laser light source. Therefore, a semiconductor device according to the present technology includes an imaging unit including a photoelectric conversion element that receives reflected light of light emitted from a specific laser light source reflected by a subject and performs photoelectric conversion and a control unit that executes validity determination processing for determining whether or not the light received by the photoelectric conversion element is the light emitted from the specific laser light source.
