ABSTRACT:
A scene is scanned with several different frequency light beams, emitted for example, from a mixed gas laser. The scattered light returned from the surfaces of the objects in the scene is detected. Comparing the phase of the returned light with the emitted light provides range information. The amplitudes of the signals of the various different frequency light beams are logically combined to provide the color at each point of the various surfaces within the scene. From the combined range and color information machine analysis of the scene can be made so that the objects in a cluttered scene can be recognized by the machine.
