  • System and method for sensing geometric and photometric attributes of a scene with multiplexed illumination and solid states optical devices
    Patent number: 8009192
    Abstract: An optical receiver is arranged at a location in a scene. The optical receiver includes a photo sensor configured to detect spatio-temporal modulated optical signals directed at the scene from a set of spatially dispersed optical transmitters, and to convert the optical signals from each of the optical transmitters to a corresponding electronic signal. The electronic signals can be analyzed to determine geometric properties of the location in the scene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2011
    Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.
