Abstract
A measurement device (200) includes a measurement unit (202) which performs measurement by emitting electromagnetic waves and scanning an object with the electromagnetic waves, and a control unit (204) which controls the measurement unit (202). The measurement unit (202) is operable in a first scan mode in which the object is scanned in a first direction, or a second scan mode in which the object is scanned in a second direction different from the first direction. The control unit (204) determines a scan mode to be executed by the measurement unit (202).
Claims12
A measurement device mounted to a moving body, the measurement device comprising:
- a measurement unit that measures an object by emitting electromagnetic waves and scanning the object with the electromagnetic waves,
- a sending unit that sends, in a first sending mode or a second sending mode, data measured by the measurement unit, and
- a control unit that determines, based on a moving state of the moving body, a sending mode to be executed by the sending unit,
- wherein
- the sending unit:
- sends, in the first sending mode, measurement result in a predetermined range,
- sends, in the second sending mode, measurement result in a part of the predetermined range, and
- the control unit determines, based on speed of the moving body, the sending mode.
A control apparatus mounted to a moving body, the control apparatus comprising:
- a measurement unit that measures an object by emitting electromagnetic waves and scanning the object with the electromagnetic waves,
- a sending unit that sends, in a first sending mode or a second sending mode, data measured by the measurement unit,
- a control unit that determines, based on a moving state of the moving body, a sending mode to be executed by the sending unit, and
- an information acquisition unit that acquires at least one of information related to features included in a map and traffic information requiring special attention,
- wherein
- the sending unit:
- sends, in the first sending mode, measurement result in a predetermined range,
- sends, in the second sending mode, measurement result in a part of the predetermined range, and
- the control unit determines, based on at least one of the information acquired by the information acquisition unit and a current position of the moving body, the sending mode.
A measurement method executed by a computer mounted to a moving body, the measurement method comprising:
- measuring an object by emitting electromagnetic waves and scanning the object with the electromagnetic waves,
- sending, in a first sending mode or a second sending mode, measured data, and
- determining, based on a moving state of the moving body, a sending mode to be executed,
- wherein the computer:
- sends, in the first sending mode, measurement result in a predetermined range,
- sends, in the second sending mode, measurement result in a part of the predetermined range, and
- determines, based on speed of the moving body, the sending mode.
A control method executed by a computer mounted to a moving body, the control method comprising:
- measuring an object by emitting electromagnetic waves and scanning the object with the electromagnetic waves,
- sending, in a first sending mode or a second sending mode, measured data, and
- determining, based on a moving state of the moving body, a sending mode to be executed, and
- acquiring at least one of information related to features included in a map and traffic information requiring special attention,
- wherein the computer:
- sends, in the first sending mode, measurement result in a predetermined range,
- sends, in the second sending mode, measurement result in a part of the predetermined range, and
- determines, based on at least one of the information acquired and a current position of the moving body, the sending mode.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer, mounted to a moving body, to execute as:
- a measurement unit that measures an object by emitting electromagnetic waves and scanning the object with the electromagnetic waves,
- a sending unit that sends, in a first sending mode or a second sending mode, data measured by the measurement unit, and
- a control unit that determines, based on a moving state of the moving body, a sending mode to be executed by the sending unit,
- wherein
- the sending unit:
- sends, in the first sending mode, measurement result in a predetermined range,
- sends, in the second sending mode, measurement result in a part of the predetermined range, and
- the control unit determines, based on speed of the moving body, the sending mode.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer, mounted to a moving body, to execute as:
- a measurement unit that measures an object by emitting electromagnetic waves and scanning the object with the electromagnetic waves,
- a sending unit that sends, in a first sending mode or a second sending mode, data measured by the measurement unit,
- a control unit that determines, based on a moving state of the moving body, a sending mode to be executed by the sending unit, and
- an information acquisition unit that acquires at least one of information related to features included in a map and traffic information requiring special attention,
- wherein
- the sending unit:
- sends, in the first sending mode, measurement result in a predetermined range,
- sends, in the second sending mode, measurement result in a part of the predetermined range, and
- the control unit determines, based on at least one of the information acquired by the information acquisition unit and a current position of the moving body, the sending mode.
