A ranging apparatus capable of suppressing reduction of ranging accuracy at a long distance end of a distance measurement range, thereby making it possible to perform high-accuracy ranging over a wide distance range. An image pickup device receives light fluxes from a fixed focus optical system. A distance information acquisition unit acquires distance information of an object based on image signals from the image pickup device. This section acquires the distance information based on parallax between a first image based on a light flux having passed a first region of an exit pupil, and a second image based on a light flux having passed a second region of the exit pupil. The optical system is configured such that parallax of an object existing at a predetermined distance is smaller than parallax of an object existing at a shorter distance than the predetermined distance.

The distance measurement method by the UAV includes the following steps: obtaining a first image taken by a first imaging apparatus on the UAV at a moment and a second image taken by a second imaging apparatus on the UAV at the moment; determining a first pixel block in the first image and a second pixel block that matches the first pixel block and that is in the second image; where any of the first pixel block and the second pixel block includes at least two pixel points; and determining a distance between the UAV and a target object according to a parallax value of the first pixel block and the second pixel block. As a result, distance measurement efficiency can be improved.
