Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a distance measuring apparatus utilizing light waves, in particular the distance measuring apparatus is able to measure a distance effectively even in an environment containing such a noise light as to disturb the measurement by light waves. In the above-mentioned apparatus, the projection system irradiates the target of measurement with light beams, the light reception means in the light reception system receives the reflected light beams, and the processing means calculates the distance from the measuring position to the target of measurement based on the reflected light beams. The threshold level of the light reception means for judging the incidence of reflected light beams is made variable.
