Abstract: Scanning density of laser scanning is increased at low cost. A laser scanning apparatus includes a horizontal rotation unit and a controller. The horizontal rotation unit determines an area of laser scanning. The controller controls rotation of the horizontal rotation unit. The horizontal rotation unit is rotated while the laser scanning is performed, whereby scanning using laser scanning light is performed in a vertical angle direction at a predetermined interval. The controller makes the horizontal rotation unit repeatedly rotate multiple times in angular ranges that partially overlap one another, in order to perform the laser scanning multiple times on areas of the laser scanning that overlap one another. Start positions of the rotation of multiple times of the horizontal rotation unit are successively shifted by a predetermined amount. The predetermined amount of shifting corresponds to a distance shorter than the predetermined interval.
