Abstract
A device for determining a position of an object is provided. The device includes at least one first emitter configured to emit a first transmission light signal that travels from the device to the object, and at least one detector that is configured to detect a reception light signal that travels from the object to the detector. The detector includes at least one pixel matrix that includes at least one pixel. The device includes at least one passive polarization adaptation unit configured to control a polarization of the reception light signal as a function of an ambient light signal. A method for determining a position of at least one object with the aid of such a device is also described, in which the measuring-control element measures a first signal-to-noise ratio at a first measuring point in time, and a second signal-to-noise ratio at a second measuring point in time.
