    Abstract: A biological information measuring device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a light source that, in operation, emits irradiation light for irradiating a test portion of a subject; a light detector that, in operation, detects light from the subject and outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the light; and a control circuit that, in operation, determines a power of the irradiation light emitted by the light source, and that, in operation, measures biological information related to a blood flow at the test portion based on the electrical signal. The control circuit, in operation, detects a distance between the light source and the test portion based on the electrical signal, and determines the power of the irradiation light such that the power of the irradiation light is increased as the distance increases.

    Abstract: An object classification method includes: acquiring image data of an image including feature information indicating a feature of an object; and classifying the object included in the image, based on the feature information. The image data is acquired by causing a first image capture device to capture the image. The first image capture device includes: an image sensor; and a filter array that is arranged on an optical path of light that is incident on the image sensor and that includes translucent filters two-dimensionally arrayed along a plane that crosses the optical path, the translucent filters including two or more filters in which wavelength dependencies of light transmittances are different from each other, and light transmittance of each of the two or more filters having local maximum values in a plurality of wavelength ranges.

    Abstract: An identifying device includes a light source, an image sensor, a memory that stores biometric data indicating a feature of a body of a user, and a processor. The processor causes the light source to emit pulsed light having a pulse duration of more than or equal to 0.2 ns and less than or equal to 1 μs to illuminate the user with the pulsed light, causes the image sensor to detect at least part of reflected pulsed light that returns from the user and to output a signal corresponding to two-dimensional distribution of an intensity of the at least part of the reflected pulsed light, and verifies the signal against the biometric data to identify the user.

    Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes first and second light sources, a diffuser, a photodetector, and a processing circuit. The first and second light sources respectively output first emitted light and second emitted light. The mirror causes the first emitted light and the second emitted light to be concentrated and incident on one region of the diffuser. The photodetector detects first reflected light and second reflected light that emanate from a subject due to the first emitted light and the second emitted light diffused by the diffuser, respectively. The processing circuit generates and outputs information related to the subject, based on the result of detection of the first reflected light and the second reflected light by the photodetector. The distance between two light spots respectively formed on the one region by the first emitted light and the second emitted light is less than the distance between the first and second light sources.

    Abstract: An optical sensing apparatus includes a laser device, a photodetector, and a control circuit. The laser device includes a light source that emits laser light, a diffusing member having a diffusing surface that crosses an optical path of the laser light, the diffusing member making the laser light lower in intensity in a first portion, making the laser light higher in intensity in a second portion, and enlarging a beam diameter of the laser light, and a screen, and irradiates a physical object with the laser light having passed through the screen or the laser light reflected by the screen. The control circuit causes the laser device to irradiate the physical object with at least one optical pulse of the laser light and causes the photodetector to perform a time-resolved measurement of at least one reflected optical pulse of the laser light returning from the physical object.
