Abstract: A range imaging system includes a light source unit configured to emit an irradiation light beam to an object, an imaging unit including a solid-state imaging device, and a calculation unit. The solid-state imaging device outputs an image capture signal for forming an image and an imaging signal of a light beam which is obtained when the irradiation light beam emitted is reflected by the object. The calculation unit is configured to calculate range information from the imaging signal, the range information being stored in association with the image.

Abstract: A range imaging system includes: a control unit that generates a light emission signal for instructing light irradiation and an exposure signal for instructing exposure; a pulsed-light source unit that emits pulsed light in response to the light emission signal; an imaging unit that includes a solid-state imaging device and performs exposure and imaging in response to the exposure signal; and a calculation unit that calculates range information. The solid-state imaging device includes a first pixel for receiving radiant light from a subject and a second pixel for receiving reflected light of the pulsed light. The calculation unit calculates the range information using an image capture signal from the first pixel and an imaging signal from the second pixel.
