Abstract: A gating camera divides a field of view in a depth direction into multiple ranges, and generates multiple slice images that correspond to the multiple ranges. A controller is configured to generate an emission control signal and an exposure control signal. An illumination apparatus emits probe light according to the emission control signal during normal imaging. An image sensor performs exposure according to the exposure control signal. A calibration light source emits calibration light to the image sensor according to the emission control signal during calibration. The controller sweeps a time difference between the emission control signal and the exposure control signal, and monitors a change in a pixel value of the image sensor during the calibration.

Abstract: The time required for the state monitoring can be shortened when there is a lighting fixture which has been turned off. A lighting controller for controlling lighting fixtures includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor identifies a first lighting fixture connected to a first power supply system, identifies a second lighting fixture connected to a second power supply system, and gives a lower priority to control of the second lighting fixture than to control of the first lighting fixture, if the processor receives a response to an interrogation, which is sent from the processor to the first lighting fixture, from the first lighting fixture within a predetermined period of time, and does not receive a response to an interrogation, which is sent from the processor to the second lighting fixture, from the second lighting fixture within the predetermined period of time.
