Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0190777A1] The aim of the invention is a determination of the distance and angle between a reference object and at least one target object, located in the field of view and/or the speed of at least one target object in the field of view, with high precision and in a simple manner at low cost. The field of view is thus divided into several target sectors by the optical system, comprising a particular angular section in the horizontal plane and the vertical plane. The measuring unit for recording the recorded values comprises a receiver unit with a number of receiver elements corresponding to the number of target sectors, whereby each receiver element detects the reflected signal from one of the target sectors. A control unit connected in series with the receiver units comprises a number of analytical stages corresponding to the number of receiver elements, whereby each analytical stage evaluates the received signal of a receiver element originating from one target sector. The invention further relates to an optical system for application in driver assist systems in motor vehicles.
