A Fully Integrated Range-Finder Based on the Line-Stripe Method

Abstract

In this paper, an imaging chip for acquiring range information with 0.35 mum CMOS technology and 5 V power supply has been described. The system can extract range information without any mechanical movement and all the signal processing is done on the chip. All of the image sensors and mixed-signal processors are integrated in the chip. The design range is 1.5 m-10 m with 18 scales.
