Optical distance measurement method using 3d information from regions
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11906629B2) discloses a method for optical distance measurement that involves emitting measuring pulses, receiving reflected pulses, determining 2D information for a measuring region, identifying regions of interest, and evaluating received pulses to determine 3D information. The method includes assigning receiving elements to evaluating units based on regions of interest, emitting a second set of measuring pulses, and evaluating the received pulses to determine 3D information for the measuring region. The method allows for efficient and accurate optical distance measurement by optimizing the assignment of receiving elements to evaluating units based on regions of interest.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a device implementing the method for optical distance measurement. The device comprises transmitting and receiving units, evaluating units, and is capable of emitting measuring pulses, receiving reflections, determining 2D information, identifying regions of interest, and evaluating received pulses to determine 3D information. The device optimizes the assignment of receiving elements to evaluating units based on regions of interest, ensuring accurate and reliable optical distance measurement. Additionally, the device is designed to allocate time budgets efficiently between different phases of the measurement process, further enhancing its effectiveness in capturing 3D information of the measuring region.
