    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: A measurement apparatus includes a light source, a sensor including light detection cells including a first light detection cell and a second light detection cell, and an electronic circuit. The circuit causes the light source to emit a light pulse, causes the first light detection cell to detect a reflected light pulse from a target in an exposure period including at least part of a period from when an intensity of the reflected light pulse starts increasing to when it starts falling and generate a first signal, causes the second light detection cell to detect the reflected light pulse in an exposure period including at least part of a trailing period from when the intensity of the reflected light pulse starts falling to when it stops falling and generate a second signal. The circuit generates, based on the first and second signals, data representing states of the target.

    Abstract: A distance-measuring device includes a light source, a light detector, and a circuit. The circuit causes the light source to output a light pulse toward a target object, causes the light detector to detect a reflection-light pulse in a first period and a second period to generate a first signal and a second signal, respectively, and generates and outputs data indicating a distance from the light detector to the target object based on the two signals. The first period includes at least a part of a rise period, from a first point at which an intensity of the reflection-light pulse starts increasing to a second point at which the increase ends, and the first point. The second period includes at least a part of a fall period, from a third point at which the intensity starts decreasing to a fourth point at which the decrease ends, and the fourth point.
