The reflected light is detected with a two-dimensional position detector 5 operating on a signal processing system and the three-dimensional information on the object or working environment is obtd. by the algorithm 2 based on triangulation method by using the data obtd. through the device 3. The device consisting of one chip can be formed if the algorithm is made into hardware as a semiconductor sensor constituted of a photoelectric transducer such as a CCD or the like, an image buffer, simple arithmetic circuit and a synchronizing circuit with the irradiating light. If the reflected light is slight, the two-dimensional position is made detectable by repeating plural times the processing and adding and averaging the results.

As a method for capturing 3D information about work objects and the work environment, which is important for Lohontics, the work objects and work environment are actively irradiated with spot light, slit light, and random pattern light. There is a method of detecting the reflected light and calculating the three-dimensional position and distance based on the triangulation method. However, this method is sensitive to lighting conditions, and it is difficult to detect reflected light in bright places, and depending on the surface condition and posture of the work object and work environment, the reflection becomes weak and light cannot be received.
Using the conventional method of detecting the brightest point within the screen or on the scan line, if there is another spot that is brighter than the irradiating spot light, slit light, random pattern light, etc. It has drawbacks such as malfunction due to position detection.
