Abstract
An illustrative example embodiment of a detector device, which may be useful on an automated vehicle, includes an array of detectors arranged in one dimension. The array includes a plurality of first detectors and a plurality of second detectors. The first detectors respectively have one of the second detectors between the first detector and an adjacent one of the first detectors. The first detectors respectively are spaced from the one of the second detectors by a first distance. The one of the second detectors are respectively spaced from the adjacent one of the first detectors by a second distance that is larger than the first distance. The first detectors are spaced from each other by a third distance that is a sum of the first and second distance. The second detectors are also spaced from each other by the third distance.
