Abstract
An object detector reads distance measurement information and determines any presence of at least a portion of an object within a target area between the object detector and a background surface. The determination of the presence is based on distance measurement information. The distance measurement information is compared against a lower distance threshold and an upper distance threshold, where the lower distance threshold represents a distance between the object detector and the background surface, less a subtracted margin; and the upper distance threshold representing a distance between the object detector and a point beyond a distance of the background surface by an added margin. Satisfaction of either distance threshold is indicative of the presence of at least a portion of the object within the target area.
