  • Publication number: 20240329247
    Abstract: A laser radar device includes a transmission unit, a scanning unit, a distance calculation section, and a movement control unit. The transmission unit transmits laser light that has been subjected to frequency modulation. The scanning unit performs scanning with the laser light. For each of a plurality of partial regions obtained by dividing a laser light scanning region preset as a two-dimensional region which the scanning unit scans with the laser light, the distance calculation section receives the laser light that has been reflected by an object, and calculates a distance to the object in the partial region. The movement control unit controls movement of the laser light so that the laser light moves in the partial region, with ??>(1.22*?/d) being met.
