Original Abstract Submitted
The present technology relates to a distance measuring device, a control method thereof, and a distance measuring system capable of arranging sample points of a pixel array so as to obtain more distance information. A distance measuring device includes: a pixel array in which pixels that receive reflected light obtained by reflecting irradiation light from an object are arranged in a matrix; a determination unit that determines some of the pixels of the pixel array as a sample point for detecting distance information; and a storage unit that stores a sample point state table that stores distance information of the sample point and a sample point movement rule table that stores a movement rule of the sample point, in which the determination unit updates position information of the sample point on the basis of the sample point state table and the sample point movement rule table. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a distance measuring system or the like that detects a distance from a subject in a depth direction.
