Abstract
A ranging apparatus includes a first array with first light sensitive detectors configured to receive light which has been reflected by an object and generate an output. A second array, spaced apart from the first array by a spacing distance, is further included, the second array having second light sensitive detectors. The second array is configurable to either receive light which has been reflected by the object or to be a reference array and generate an output. A processor operates to determine a distance to the object in response to the outputs from the first and the second arrays.
