Physical
Heriot-Watt University in Scotland have created a camera system capable of resolving depth of the 3D image in a millimeter-scale distances up one kilometer. Working much like a version of laser radar, the "time of flight" (TOF) measurement system "pings" an infrared laser beam to low objects and records a pixel by pixel map remote power using a detector account positions and single photons as they return to the source ...
