Abstract: Portable laser rangefinders include an objective lens situated to form an image of a distant object on an image sensor. The image sensor is coupled to a display that produces a corresponding displayed image that can be viewed directly by a user, or viewed using an eye piece. A transmitter directs a probe beam to a target, and a returned portion of the probe beam is detected to estimate target distance or target speed. An image processor is coupled to the image sensor and the display so as to provide a digital image.
