OPTICAL DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A measuring device for optical distance measurement, in particular a handheld measuring device, comprising:
- a transmitting unit for emitting optical measurement radiation toward a target object;
a receiving unit having a detection area for detecting optical measurement radiation returning from the target object; and
an evaluation unit having at least one distance determining unit,wherein the detection area has a multiplicity of pixels,wherein each pixel has at least one light-sensitive element,wherein the evaluation unit is designed in such a way that detection signals of a plurality of pixels are forwarded to the at least one distance determining unit, on the basis of which the distance determining unit determines distance data which correlate with the distance between the measuring device and the target object, andwherein the evaluation unit is designed to determine a distance between the measuring device and the target object on the basis of an evaluation of distance data that were determined by the at least one distance determining unit.

Abstract
A measuring device for optically measuring a distance to a target object including an emitter device for emitting an optical measuring beam to the target object, a capturing device comprising a detection surface for detecting an optical beam returned by the target object, and an evaluation device. The detection surface has a plurality of pixels, each pixel having at least one light-sensitive element and each of the plurality of pixels is connected to the evaluation device. The emitting device and the capturing device are configured in such a manner that the optical measurement beam returned by the target object simultaneously illuminates a plurality of pixels. The evaluation device is configured in such a manner that detection signals of a plurality of pixels are guided to at least one of the plurality of distance determining devices.
