A sensor positioning device includes an inter-sensor distance measurement jig that measures a distance between two sensors, and is a reference when setting the distance between the two sensors to a target distance, and reference-setting jigs of sensor height position, each including a weight and a weight suspension member, a lengthwise direction of which is in a vertical direction when the weight is suspended, and each performing setting of a distance which is a total of a vertical direction dimension of the weight, a length of the weight suspension member, and a distance from an upper end of the weight suspension member to the sensor such that the distance coincides with a target height of the sensor, when the weight is in contact with a reference surface, in a state where the weight is attached to a sensor holding jig by the weight suspension member.

Laser light source geolocation. The system includes two spaced-apart ground based sensors for receiving light from a laser source that has been off-axis scattered by air molecules and particulates to form scattered light imagery. A processor operates on the imagery from the two sensors to geolocate the laser light source on the ground.

A photographing device includes a first image sensor, a first filter area, a second image sensor, a first distance calculating unit, and a second distance calculating unit. The first image sensor includes a first sensor receiving light of a first wavelength band and outputting a target image, and a second sensor receiving light of a second wavelength band and outputting a reference image. The first filter area transmits a first light of a third wavelength band, which includes at least part of the first wavelength band, the first light being a part of light incident on the first image sensor. The second image sensor outputs a first image. The first distance calculating unit calculates a first distance to an object captured in the target image and the reference image. The second distance calculating unit calculates a second distance to an object captured in the reference image and the first image.

An installation system has a laser range finder set at a reference position to measure a distance to a target, an installation cart which performs operation for laying a magnetic marker in a road, and an arithmetic unit which identifies a position relation of a laying position where the magnetic marker is laid with respect to the reference position. When operation for laying the magnetic marker in a road is performed, by taking the installation cart during performing the operation of laying the magnetic marker in the road as a target, based on a distance to the installation cart measured by the laser range finder, the position relation of the laying position with respect to the reference position is identified by the arithmetic unit.
