Abstract: An inclined plane (13) of a prism (12) serving as a light-direction changing element transmits and refracts light emitted from an LED light source (16) so that a contact surface (11) is illuminated with the light thus refracted. The light is diffusely-reflected from an object which is in contact with the contact surface (11). A part of the light thus diffusely-reflected is transmitted through the prism (12). A light path of the part of the light is changed by the inclined plane (13) so that a lens (14) serving as an image-forming element receives the part of the light. The lens 14 forms an image on the basis of the part of the light thus received. An image-capturing element (15) captures the image thus formed as image data. The image data obtained by the image-capturing element (15) is subjected to image processing, so that a change in the contact surface (11) is extracted. On the basis of the change thus extracted, an amount of movement of the object and a direction of the movement can be obtained.
