A sensor device (), for measuring a surface (), includes a lighting device () emitting a light beam (); an optical device () splitting the light beam () into partial light beams (), and emitting the first partial light beam () toward a first surface area () and emitting the second partial light beam () toward a second surface area (). A light sensor () is configured to receive a first surface area reflection (-) of the first partial light beam () and a second surface area reflection (-) of the second partial light beam (). A processor () is configured to detect a distance of the first surface area () and of the second surface area () to the sensor device () based on a position of the first partial light beam reflection (-) and the second partial light beam reflection (-) on the light sensor ().
