ABSTRACT:
A distance measuring apparatus includes a detecting unit which detects a distance to an object located in a predetermined detection range; an imaging unit which generates an image signal group corresponding to a predetermined imaging field; a calculating unit which calculates the distance to the object located in the imaging field based on the image signal group; and an interpolating unit which either interpolates a detection result by the detecting unit by using a calculation result by the calculating unit, or interpolates the calculation result by the calculating unit by using the detection result by the detecting unit.
