Abstract
An emitter unit is designed to emit segments of electromagnetic radiation temporally offset to one another along a line. A detector includes a plurality of linearly situated detector channels. A first sequence and at least one second sequence of segments are emitted. The sequences differ at least with respect to a temporal distance between two successive segments. First signals and second signals are detected on the basis of segments of the first and second sequence reflected at objects and striking the detector. Signal strengths of first and second signals are added together in order to obtain sum signals for each detection channel. Signal strengths of the sum signals are compared with a predefinable threshold value and identified as real if they are greater than the predefinable threshold value.
