Abstract:
A distance camera includes at least one photo element, a trigger generator activating the photo element during a temporal integration gate, a light source illuminating an object with light pulses having a predetermined temporal intensity profile with a duration T p , and an intensity sensor determining the intensity I p  of the light pulses arriving on the photo element. The integration gate has a predetermined delay to the light pulse emission start point in order to capture the light pulses back reflected from the object. The photo element outputs a signal value U at an integration end point in time T 1e  and in accordance with an intensity I p  and a duration of the light pulse arriving on the photo element during its activation.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for determining a distance value (R abs ) between an object and a device according to  claim 1 , comprising:\n a) arranging a target object a distance from the device, b) obtaining a plurality of sampling points (R raw,cal , I p,cal ), c) calculating the parameters of the explicit light-pulse-intensity-dependent correction value as an interpolation of the sampling points R raw,cal , I p,cal , and storing the parameters for the photo element in the memory unit, d) arranging the object within the distance range, e) illuminating the object with the light pulses, and determining the raw distance value R raw  from the signal value U and the corresponding intensity I p  determined by the intensity sensor, f) calculating the correction value \u0394(I p ) for the raw distance value R raw  in dependence on the intensity I p  with the parameters stored in the memory unit, and g) calculating the distance value R abs .
