Distance Measuring Sensors
Distance Measuring Sensors (short DMS) contain an IR emitter (IR LED), a sensor (Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) or CMOS Image Sensor) as well as a signal processing unit.
In contrary to proximity sensors, DMS can measure an actual distance value by utilizing the triangulation method. In this method, the incident angle of the reflected light is used to calculate the distance rather than the portion of the reflected light. The closer an object moves towards the sensor, the bigger the incident angle of the light towards the detector is. This method is more complex, but much more accurate, as the incident angle is almost independent from the objects surface property.
