Abstract

A processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a captured image obtained by capturing, by an image capturing unit, a target object to which a projection unit has emitted pattern light. A derivation unit derives a distance from the image capturing unit to the target object by using the captured image. An adjustment unit adjusts, in accordance with the derived distance, at least one of a first parameter for controlling brightness of the pattern light emitted from the projection unit, and a second parameter for controlling an exposure amount of the image capturing unit.
