    Abstract: A distance measurement apparatus irradiates an object with a light from a light source whose luminance can be modulated or from a pulse light source, and receives the reflected and returned light to obtain a distance to the object. A photoelectric converter receives the reflected light and photoelectrically converts the received light. A first charge accumulator accumulates an electric charge transferred via a first gate driven by a first transfer pulse synchronized with an emitting timing of the light from the light source among electric charges generated by the photoelectric converter. A second charge accumulator accumulates an electric charge transferred via a second gate driven by a second transfer pulse complementary to the first transfer pulse among the electric charges generated by the photoelectric converter. A normalization circuit reads a first signal based on the accumulated electric charge of the first charge accumulator, and a second signal based on the accumulated electric charge of the second charge accumulator, and normalizes the smaller signal of the first and second signals with an added signal of the first and second signals.
