Abstract
A distance image generation device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire a micro-frame constituted by a one-bit signal based on incident light to a photoelectric conversion element, and a synthesis unit configured to generate a sub-frame constituted by a multi-bit signal by synthesizing a plurality of the micro-frames acquired in different periods from each other. In one ranging frame period, the synthesis unit generates a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame, used for generating one distance image. The number of the plurality of micro-frames synthesized when generating the first sub-frame and the number of the plurality of micro-frames synthesized when generating the second sub-frame are different from each other.
