Original Abstract Submitted
Multiple light sources are configured to emit light to be used for range-image capturing. An electronic component is associated with operations of the light sources. A shield member is configured to block spatial propagation of noise with respect to the electronic component. An optical member has multiple lenses allowing passage of the light. The shield member is formed with multiple openings. The openings are arranged so as to allow at least a portion of light emitted from each of the light sources to pass toward an associated one of the lenses.
