1. A LiDAR sensor unit comprising:
a LiDAR sensor;
a lens element that is provided on an optical path of light emitted from the LiDAR sensor; and
a processing unit configured to output measurement data including a direction and a distance that are to be measured, the measurement data being measured by the LiDAR sensor,
wherein the processing unit is configured not to output the measurement data for a specific direction in which the direction is the same and distances are different before and after attachment of the lens element in the same environment.
