Abstract
By a control device, a control method, or a non-transitory tangible storage medium storing a control program for controlling an optical sensor that includes a plurality of single photon avalanche diodes for each light reception pixel and receives light from a sensing area, a light reception signal waveform is acquired. The light reception signal waveform includes: a reflection light output component; and an external light output component, and a reflection intensity of the reflection light is estimated based on a correlation between a reflection light response number and an external light response number.
