Abstract
Systems and methods for three-dimensional imaging are disclosed. A three-dimensional imaging system may include a light source to emit a light pulse. The divergence of the light pulse may be configurable by the system. For example, the system may also include a receiving lens having a field of view and configured to receive a portion of the light pulse reflected or scattered by a scene. The system may configure the light source so that the divergence of the light pulse matches or approximates the field of view of the receiving lens.
Claims1
A three-dimensional imaging system, comprising:
- a light source configured to emit a light pulse with a predetermined divergence;
- a receiving lens having a field of view and configured to receive a portion of the light pulse reflected or scattered by a scene;
- and
- a device configured to set the predetermined divergence of the light pulse to match or approximately match the field of view of the receiving lens.
