Disclosed is a technique for controlling an optical sensor that receives reflected light in response to light irradiation along each scanning line which moves in a scanning direction within a scanning frame. In the technique, a region of interest is shifted between two successive scanning frames. The region of interest is a region from which light receiving data is read for each scanning line, and corresponds to N rows of light receiving elements stacked in the scanning direction in the optical sensor, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. The region of interest for each scanning line is shifted by N−1 or fewer rows of light receiving elements between two successive scanning frames. Sensing data is outputted by integrating the light receiving data of each scanning line retrieved from current and previous N−1 scanning frames.
A control device configured to control an optical sensor that receives reflected light in response to light irradiation along each scanning line which moves in a scanning direction within a scanning frame, the control device comprising:
A control method to be executed by a processor for controlling an optical sensor configured to receive reflected light in response to light irradiation along each scanning line which moves in a scanning direction within a scanning frame, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing control program to control an optical sensor configured to receive reflected light in response to light irradiation along each scanning line which moves in a scanning direction within a scanning frame, the control program comprising commands configured to, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to carry out:
