A distance detecting device and an image processing apparatus including the same are disclosed. The distance detecting device includes a light source to output light based on a first electric signal, a scanner to sequentially perform first direction a scanner to perform first direction scanning and second direction scanning to output the output light, a detecting unit to detect light received from an external target corresponding to the output light and to convert the received light into a second electric signal, and a processor to calculate a distance from the external target based on the first electric signal and the second electric signal and to control the light source to vary intensity or level of the output light. Consequently, power of light output to the external target is increased. |
