Abstract[English]
The present invention relates to a method for optical sensing. The method comprises the steps of projecting a light beam (5) onto a scene (4), thereby creating a light spot (8, 9, 10) on said scene, and scanning said light beam (5) on said scene (4) along a trajectory. The method further comprises the step of imaging at least two different parts of said scene (6) simultaneously onto sensing units (3) of a first optical sensor (2), such that each sensing unit (3) of said optical sensor (2) corresponds to at least two different points or areas (8, 8', 8'') on said scene (6), wherein each point or area (8, 8', 8'') of said at least two different points or areas (8, 8', 8'') corresponds to a different part (11,12, 13) of said at least two different parts (11, 12, 13). The method further comprises the step of determining the location of the light spot (8, 9, 10) on the scene (6), among said at least two different points or areas (8, 8', 8''), based on the instantaneous projection vector direction of the light beam (5) on the scene (6).[French]
La présente invention concerne un procédé de détection optique. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à projeter un faisceau lumineux (5) sur une scène (4), créant ainsi un spot lumineux (8, 9, 10) sur ladite scène, et à balayer ledit faisceau lumineux (5) sur ladite scène (4) selon une trajectoire. Le procédé comprend en outre l'étape consistant à imager au moins deux parties différentes de ladite scène (6) simultanément sur des unités de détection (3) d'un premier capteur optique (2), de telle sorte que chaque unité de détection (3) dudit capteur optique (2) correspond à au moins deux points ou zones différents (8, 8', 8'') sur ladite scène (6), chaque point ou zone (8, 8', 8'') desdits au moins deux points ou zones différents (8, 8', 8'') correspondant à une partie différente (11, 12, 13) desdites au moins deux parties différentes (11, 12, 13). Le procédé comprend en outre l'étape consistant à déterminer l'emplacement du spot lumineux (8, 9, 10) sur la scène (6), parmi lesdits au moins deux points ou zones différents (8, 8', 8''), sur la base de la direction de vecteur de projection instantanée du faisceau lumineux (5) sur la scène (6).
