Abstract
Disclosed is a measurement device including: a distance measurement unit that has a light-generating element, a measurement light emission unit, a light reception unit, and a light reception element and measures a distance to a measurement target on the basis of a light reception signal; a deflection unit that is capable of performing scanning with measurement light; and a control unit that controls the distance measurement unit and the deflection unit. The control unit finds a surface of the measurement target, generates a grid having lines that are arranged at regular intervals on the surface of the measurement target and include a component parallel to a reference direction and a component perpendicular to the reference direction, and controls a deflection behavior of the deflection unit so that a scanning track of the measurement light traces the lines of the grid.
