The distance measurement system includes an emitter emitting light, a receiver having a pixel array at which are formed a plurality of pixels detecting light reflected from an object, a processor configured to calculate distance data relating to a distance to the object for each of the plurality of pixels based on a result of detection of the reflected light, and use the distance data to generate a distance image, and a vehicle information detector detecting vehicle information relating to behavior of the vehicle. The processor calculates the distance data a plurality of times based on results of detection of light reflected from the object in a plurality of different time periods. The processor converts coordinates of the distance data based on the vehicle information to correct positional deviation between the distance data on the pixel array and generates the distance image for an overlapping range of the distance data.
A distance measurement system mounted in a vehicle, comprising:
