Abstract:
To provide a distance measuring apparatus, a distance measuring method, and an imaging apparatus that can satisfactorily measure a distance. A distance measuring apparatus includes an imaging unit capable of acquiring a plurality of images having view points different from one another and a controlling unit configured to perform control to acquire the plurality of images with the imaging unit in a state in which a patterned light is projected on any region using a projecting unit disposed in a position optically conjugate to the imaging unit and measure a distance on the basis of the plurality of images acquired by the imaging unit.

Claim (Index 9):
The distance measuring apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, when luminance of a second region where distance cannot be measured on the basis of the plurality of images acquired by the imaging unit in a state in which the patterned light is projected is equal to or larger than a second threshold, the controlling unit performs control to measure a distance on the basis of a plurality of images acquired by the imaging unit in a state in which a patterned light is projected on the second region using another projecting unit disposed in a position different from a position of the projecting unit.
