Abstract

See full text

The ranging system has an axis defining azimuthal coordinates around the axis; a panoramic projector adapted to project an illumination beam towards azimuthally-spaced areas around the axis; a panoramic collector being adapted to receive a return light beam from illuminated areas and to collect the return light beam onto a focal area; an array of time-of-flight (ToF) sensors positioned at the focal area, each ToF sensor of the array being adapted to sense an intensity of the return light beam incoming from the azimuthally-spaced areas; and a computing device configured to operate the panoramic projector and the array of ToF sensors in a synchronized manner allowing to determine, for each ToF sensor of the array, a range value indicative of the range between the panoramic projector and a target positioned in at least one of the azimuthally-spaced areas.
