  • Patent number: 7791713
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring distance wherein pulsed electromagnetic radiation is emitted by at least one transmitter and the reflected signal impulses are detected by at least one receiver. According to the invention, the distances of the objects, at which the emitted radiation impulses are reflected, is measured by determining the propagation time of the impulses. The noise is measured by a receiver and moments in time during which a noise threshold of the receiver is exceeded, are determined, and modifications of the noise produced by the signal impulses are detected by the communicating of a plurality of individual measurements respectively comprising said moments in time.

  • Patent number: 7787105
    Abstract: A system and method for the taking of a large number of distance images having distance picture elements. Electromagnetic radiation is transmitted in the form of transmission pulses at objects, and reflected echo pulses are detected. Measurements are made by determining the pulse time of flight of the distances of objects which respectively form a distance picture element and at which the transmission pulses are reflected. A time measuring device carries out a plurality of associated individual measurements for each distance image to be taken. Stored event lists of all time measuring channels are read out and evaluated in order to convert the respective time information contained in the event lists into distance values corresponding to the distance picture elements.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the taking of a large number of distance images comprising distance picture elements, wherein electromagnetic radiation is transmitted in each case in the form of transmission pulses using a plurality of transmitters arranged in an array for each distance image to be taken and reflected echo pulses are detected using a plurality of receivers arranged in an array, with the respective distances of objects at which the transmission pulses are reflected and forming a distance picture element being measured by determining the pulse time of flight, wherein a plurality of individual measurements are carried out using a time measuring device connected after the receiver array for each distance image to be taken, in which individual measurements a respective pulse chain is processed which includes a logical start pulse derived from the respective transmission pulse and at least one logical receiver pulse formed from an echo pulse or a noise pulse, wherein the logical receiver puls
