Abstract :
A novel architecture of optical sensor developed for flying-spot active triangulation will be presented The architecture implements a spot position calculation based on a two steps procedure allowing for increased readout speed and color detection. The proposed sensor has been fully integrated in standard CMOS technology and is currently under test. Preliminary experimental results will be presented.
