Abstract
Monitoring system includes: a light projecting and receiving unit including an emitting section to emit a light flux, a scanning section to make the light flux scan within a monitoring space, and a light receiving section to receive a light flux reflected from an object within the monitoring space; a processing section to measure a distance to the object by processing signals from the light projecting and receiving unit and to output a measurement point marker group provided with three-dimensional distance information for each measurement point; a user interface that sets a monitoring region in a virtual space by an operation of a user; and a display device that, when the monitoring region has been set via the user interface, displays the set monitoring region together with the measurement point marker group, wherein the processing section outputs an alarm signal when an object invades within the monitoring region during monitoring.
