摘要： An optical distance measuring apparatus is provided which is designed to transmit a laser beam in a cycle to scan a two-dimensional detection zone and to receive a return of the laser beam from a target through a light sensitive unit to determine data on the distance to the target. The light sensitive unit is made of a matrix of cells which are selectively activated in each scan cycle of the laser beam for minimizing optical interference with incoming light other than the return of the laser beam from the target in determining the data on the distance to the target.

摘要： A pseudo random noise code is generated synchronously with a reference clock signal. A first forward electromagnetic wave is transmitted in response to the pseudo random noise code. A first echo wave is received which is caused by reflection of the first forward electromagnetic wave at an object. The received first echo wave is converted into a binary signal. A value of a correlation between the binary signal and the pseudo random noise code is repetitively calculated at a predetermined period having a synchronous relation with the reference clock signal. A time interval taken by the first forward electromagnetic wave and the first echo wave to travel to and from the object is measured in response to a timing at which the calculated correlation value peaks. Then, a second forward electromagnetic wave is transmitted in response to a transmitted pulse signal is transmitted. A second echo wave related to the second forward electromagnetic wave is received. The received second echo wave is converted into a received pulse signal. A delay circuit defers the transmitted pulse signal by a delay time corresponding to the measured time interval to generate a delayed transmitted pulse signal. A phase difference between the received pulse signal and the delayed transmitted pulse signal is measured at a resolution higher than a resolution corresponding to the predetermined period of the correlation-value calculation. A distance to the object is calculated on the basis of the measured time interval and the measured phase difference.

摘要： A distance measurement apparatus includes a transmitting device for transmitting a forward electromagnetic wave. A receiving device operates for receiving an echo wave caused by reflection of the forward electromagnetic wave at an object, and converting the received echo wave into a first received signal. A scattered-wave detecting device operates for detecting a scattered wave reaching the receiving device and caused by reflection of the forward electromagnetic wave at an obstacle which occurs prior to the reflection of the forward electromagnetic wave at the object. A cancel-signal generating device operates for generating a cancel signal to cancel a scattered-wave-corresponding component of the first received signal generated by the receiving device in response to the scattered wave detected by the scattered-wave detecting device. A scattered-wave canceling device operates for removing the scattered-wave-corresponding component from the first received signal in response to the cancel signal generated by the cancel-signal generating device to change the first received signal to a second received signal. A distance calculating device responsive to the second received signal operates for measuring a time interval between a moment of the transmission of the forward electromagnetic wave by the transmitting device and a moment of the reception of the echo wave by the receiving device, and calculating a distance to the object on the basis of the measured time interval.

摘要： A scanning device periodically changes the direction of the transmission of an electromagnetic wave from an electromagnetic wave generating device. A first driving device operates for repetitively driving the electromagnetic wave generating device a plurality of times per one period of the change of the direction by the scanning device, and thereby for repetitively transmitting a distance measurement electromagnetic wave. A second driving device operates for, before the first driving device drives the electromagnetic wave generating device, driving the electromagnetic wave generating device and thereby transmitting a judgment electromagnetic wave having an energy smaller than that of the distance measurement electromagnetic wave. An obstacle judging device permits the first driving device to drive the electromagnetic wave generating device next in cases where a detected obstacle is absent, and inhibits the first driving device from driving the electromagnetic wave generating device next in cases where a detected obstacle is present.

摘要： A coarse measuring circuit measures an approximate measurement object time DU based on a first reference clock CK10. The approximate measurement object time represents a duration from a measurement start time to an input time of measurement object pulse PBr. A fine measuring circuit, cooperating with the coarse measuring circuit and using a shorter reference time, measures a time difference between a change point of the first reference clock CK10 and the input time of measurement object pulse PBr as a correction time DD of the approximate measurement object time DU, thereby obtaining a precise measurement objet time DT.

摘要： A forward electromagnetic wave is generated in accordance with a succession of pseudo random noise code signals. An echo electromagnetic wave caused by reflection of the forward electromagnetic wave at an object is converted into a received signal. Direct-current and low-frequency components are removed from the received signal to generate a filtering-resultant signal. The filtering-resultant signal is compared with a preset decision reference voltage to generate a binary signal. The binary signal is sampled into received data. Calculation is made as to a correlation between the received data and the pseudo random noise code signal. The distance to the object is computed on the basis of the calculated correlation. The pseudo random noise code signal is repetitively generated to produce a succession of the pseudo random noise code signals during a surplus time covering a stabilization time taken by the received signal to stabilize in direct-current voltage level.

摘要： A transmission wave is applied to a predetermined range in a width-wise direction of a subject vehicle. Objects located ahead of the subject vehicle are recognized on the basis of reflected waves which result from reflections of the transmission wave. The reflected waves are converted into a received signal. Detection is made regarding a variation in an intensity of the received signal along a direction corresponding to the width-wise direction of the subject vehicle. The received signal is separated into a first signal portion and a second signal portion on the basis of the detected signal intensity variation. The first signal portion corresponds to a scattered portion of the transmission wave. The second signal portion corresponds to an unscattered portion of the transmission wave. Objects are recognized on the basis of the second signal portion.
