Claim 9:
10. A method for displaying a detection intensity distribution of a distance measurement sensor when a plurality of distance measurement sensors are installed to detect an object in a measurement area, wherein each of the distance measurement sensors detects the object based on a transmission time of light, the method comprising:
generating respective detection intensity distributions for each of the detectable areas of each distance measurement sensor based on numerical values A, each decreasing as a distance from each of the distance measurement sensors increases; and
displaying, on a display, colors or lights and shades indicating the generated detection intensity distributions based on magnitudes of the numerical values of the generated intensity distributions,
wherein at least two of the detectable areas of the plurality of distance measurement sensors overlap each other, and the computer is configured to multiply the numerical values A at an overlapping location by a weighting factor to perform addition on the numerical values A to generate the detection intensity distributions, and
wherein the computer is configured to change the weighting factor according to an incident angle and a number of incident rays of the light from each of the distance measurement sensors, the object being irradiated with the light.
