Abstract: A light emitter emits detecting light to a detecting area located outside a monitoring device. A light receiver detects reflected light that is generated in accordance with reflection of the detecting light by an object located in the detecting area. A first processor is capable of executing first detecting processing that is a part of information detecting processing for detecting information of the object based on the reflected light. A second processor is capable of executing second detecting processing that is a part of the information detecting processing, and is at least partially different from the first detecting processing. A controller changes a ratio of each of the first detecting processing and the second detecting processing to the information detecting processing.

Abstract: A sensing system provided in a vehicle capable of running in an autonomous driving mode, includes: a LiDAR unit configured to acquire point group data indicating surrounding environment of the vehicle; and a LiDAR control module configured to identify information associated with a target object existing around the vehicle, based on the point group data acquired from the LiDAR unit. The LiDAR control module is configured to control the LiDAR unit so as to increase a scanning resolution of the LiDAR unit in a first angular area in a detection area of the LiDAR unit, wherein the first angular area is an area where the target object exists.

Abstract: A first light emitting element emits first detecting light toward the outside of a vehicle. A second light emitting element emits second detecting light toward the outside of the vehicle. A first light receiving element outputs a first signal corresponding to an amount of incident light. A second light receiving element outputs a second signal corresponding to an amount of incident light. A processor acquires first data corresponding to the first signal and second data corresponding to the second signal, and exchanges the first data and the second data in a case where the first data is based on the second detecting light and the second data is based on the first detecting light.

Abstract: A lighting device 12 of the present invention includes a plurality of light sources 17 and an optical member arranged closer to the light-exiting portion 15z than the light sources 17. The optical member 15 includes a prism diffuser plate 15a for diffusing light emitted from the light sources 17 and exiting from a lens sheet 15c arranged closer to the light-exiting portion 15z than the prism diffuser plate 15a. The prism diffuser plate 15a has prisms on a surface located on a side closer to the light-exiting portion 15z. The lens sheet 15c has convex lenses 62 on a surface closer to the light-exiting portion 15z.

Abstract: A lighting device 12 of the present invention includes a plurality of light sources 17 and a chassis 14 that accommodates the light sources 17. The chassis 14 is formed of a plate member and includes a bottom plate 14a of a flat plate and outer rims 21 having a folding configuration formed at the edges of the bottom plate 14a. The outer rim 21 includes a first folded portion 31 and a second folded portion 32 that is formed by further folding a part of the first folded portion 31. Since the outer rim 21 has a double folding configuration, strength of the outer rim 21 itself is increased to suppress distortion of the chassis 14. Accordingly, uniform brightness is provided.
