1. An optical receiver arranged at a location in a scene, comprising:
- a photo sensor arranged at a location in a scene and configured to detect spatio-temporal modulated optical signals directed at the scene from a set of spatially dispersed optical transmitters, and to convert the optical signals from each of the optical transmitters to a corresponding electronic signal; and
means, connected to the photo sensor, for analyzing values of the electronic signals to determine geometric properties of the location in the scene.

Abstract
An optical receiver is arranged at a location in a scene. The optical receiver includes a photo sensor configured to detect spatio-temporal modulated optical signals directed at the scene from a set of spatially dispersed optical transmitters, and to convert the optical signals from each of the optical transmitters to a corresponding electronic signal. The electronic signals can be analyzed to determine geometric properties of the location in the scene.
