Abstract

The parameter selection methods for the onboard basic automatic active optical range sensors and determination of its range characteristic are considered. The paper provides for the dependences and influence of the base value, focal distance and the circle of confusion value on the relative response error of range sensors, as well as selection of these parameters at a given relative error and response distance. The models and optical circuits of the sensors based on a photo- and laser diode developed according to the established method are shown.
