Abstract:
1. A measurement system for measuring a distance to an object to be measured, comprising: a half mirror; a measurement light emitting unit for emitting measurement light to the half mirror; a projection unit, for guiding, to an object to be measured, measurement light that is emitted by the measurement light emitting unit and passes through the half mirror, and for guiding, to the half mirror, measurement light that is reflected by the object to be measured; a light-receiving unit for receiving measurement light that is reflected by the object to be measured, passes through the projection unit to the half mirror and is reflected by the half mirror; a distance calculation unit, for calculating a distance to the object to be measured, based on the measurement light emitted by the measurement light emitting unit and the measurement light received by the light-receiving unit; an optical path changing unit for changing an optical path for any measurement light that is emitted by the measurement light emitting unit and is reflected at the half mirror rather than passing through; and a case, wherein the optical path changing unit is concave and convex portions formed in surfaces of inner walls of the case.
