Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for imaging a target area. Light is emitted from a device and separated into individual rays of light. These rays are then directed to a target area where they are reflected and returned to a receiving device. The time of flight for the individual rays of light is calculated to determine the range and shape of objects in the target area.
