Original Abstract Submitted
A ranging device includes a light receiving unit including a plurality of pixels that detects light including an irradiation light reflected by an object, a binning processing unit that converts signals of the plurality of pixels into signals of pixel blocks, an information generation unit that generates information in which each of the signals of the pixel blocks generated by the binning processing unit and a time from light emission to light detection are associated with each other, and a data transfer that transfers the plurality of signals from the light receiving unit to the binning processing unit. The data transfer unit sequentially transfers the plurality of signals received from the light receiving unit to the binning processing unit, and the binning processing unit sequentially converts the plurality of signals transferred from the data transfer unit into the signals of the pixel blocks.
