Abstract
A detection device (10) includes a transmitter (110), a receiver (120), and a control unit (140). The transmitter (110) is capable of transmitting an electromagnetic wave. The receiver (120) is capable of receiving a signal (S1), that is, the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the transmitter (110) and reflected by an object (O). The control unit (140) controls the size of an instantaneous field of view (so-called IFOV) of the receiver (120).
Claims9
A detection device comprising:
- a transmitter capable of transmitting an electromagnetic wave;
- a receiver capable of receiving the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the transmitter and reflected by an object;
- and
- a control unit controlling a size of an instantaneous field of view of the receiver based on a detection result of a current position of the receiver.
