Abstract:
An electronic apparatus capable of determining a distance to an object based on at least first reflected light provided by a reflection of first pulsed light on the object and second reflected light provided by a reflection of a second pulsed light on the object has an input terminal to receive an electrical signal of intensity of reception light, and processing circuitry to specify, based on the electrical signal, a first duration from when the first pulsed light is emitted until when the first reflected light is received within a first measurement range, and determine, based on the first duration, a second measurement range of the second reflected light, specify, a second duration from when the second pulsed light is emitted until when the second reflected light is received within the second measurement range, and determine the distance from the electronic apparatus to the object.
