Abstract

A LIDAR device performs an emission process of emitting the laser light to surroundings of a vehicle. The emission process includes a scanning process and a resolution adjustment process. The scanning process includes a process of scanning with the laser light a predefined direction that is one of vertical and horizontal directions. A plurality of emission directions include, as four directions, a first direction and a second direction adjacent to each other in the predefined direction, and a third direction and a fourth direction adjacent to each other in the predefined direction. The resolution adjustment process includes a process of making an angle difference between the third and fourth directions less than an angle difference between the first and second directions, and a variably setting process of variably setting the angle difference between the third and fourth directions according to a state variable of the vehicle, as an input.
