Abstract :
A row-parallel CMOS sensor for triangulation-based range imaging includes embedded winner-take-all circuits for detecting location of the brightest spot in each row. The brightest spot originates from a planar light continuously sweeping across a scene. The sensor delivers more than 100 range maps per second.
