Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a processor configured to select a type of an object subject to measurement; calculate a first distance to the object, based on output of a first sensor configured to detect passing of the object; calculate a second distance to the object, based on output of a second sensor configured to detect passing of the object; obtain based on the first distance, a first time point at which the object passes the first sensor; obtain based on the second distance, a second time point at which the object passes the second sensor; and calculate based on the first and second time points and a distance between the first and second sensors, a velocity of the object. The processor drives the first and second sensors at measurement time intervals corresponding to the type, and causes the first and the second sensors to detect the passing of the object.
