Claim 3:
4. The depth map sensor of claim 1, wherein the depth map sensor is configured such that:
a group of first photodetectors of the first array of first pixels of the depth map sensor is illuminated during a first exposure phase;
the group of first photodetectors of the first array of first pixels of the depth map sensor is read during a first readout phase, following the first exposure phase; and
a group of second photodetectors of the second array of second pixels of the depth map sensor is illuminated, during a second exposure phase, then read, during a second readout phase, the second exposure phase and the second readout phase being comprised in the first exposure phase of the group of first photodetectors.
