Abstract
The configuration of a light source driving device, which drives a plurality of light sources that emit light to an object to measure the distance to the object, is simplified. A light source device drives a plurality of light sources provided in a system that measures the distance to the object. The light source driving device is provided in the light source device. The light source driving device includes a light source control unit that individually controls emission of light from a plurality of light sources that emit the light to an object to measure a distance to the object.
