Detection apparatus and method of detecting object comprising a circuitry to switch an illuminance level at each illuminance region with a plurality of illuminance levels

Abstract

A detection apparatus includes a light source device, including a plurality of light-emitting elements, configured to irradiate light onto a detection target by dividing an illuminance area into a plurality of illuminance regions; and circuitry configured to switch an illuminance level at each of the plurality of illuminance regions with a plurality of illuminance levels; detect a plurality of detection data of the detection target at the plurality of illuminance regions by switching the illuminance level at each of the plurality of illuminance regions with the plurality of illuminance levels when irradiating the light onto the detection target; and synthesize the plurality of detection data of the detection target.
