A TOF (time of flight) type distance measuring system of high accuracy is provided. The distance measuring system includes: a light source unit for emitting light at a timing indicated by an emission signal; a light receiving unit for acquiring RAW data for each pixel from an imaging sensor, by exposing the imaging sensor to the light reflected from an object at a timing indicated by an exposure signal; a TOF calculation unit for supplying a TOF signal indicating the distance from each pixel to the object that is calculated based on the RAW data; a detection unit for detecting the difference between a standard value and the TOF signal for a standard pixel on the imaging sensor, and generating a phase control signal and a fine adjustment signal in accordance with the difference; a correction unit for correcting the TOF signal on the basis of the fine adjustment signal, and outputting the correction result as distance information for each pixel; and a control unit for controlling the phase shift of at least one of the emission signal and the exposure signal on the basis of the phase control signal.
A TOF (time of flight) distance measuring system comprising:
An imaging sensor of a light receiving unit used for a TOF distance measuring system, the TOF distance measuring system comprising:
