    Abstract: A detector (110) for determining a position of at least one object is proposed. The detector (110) comprises: —at least one angle dependent optical element (130) adapted to generate at least one light beam (131) having at least one beam profile depending on an angle of incidence of an incident light beam (116) propagating from the object (112) towards the detector (110) and illuminating the angle dependent optical element (130), wherein the angle dependent optical element (130) comprises at least one optical element selected from the group consisting of: at least one optical fiber, in particular at least one multifurcated optical fiber, in particular at least one bifurcated optical fiber; at least one diffractive optical element; at least one angle dependent reflective element, at least one diffractive grating element, in particular a blaze grating element; at least one aperture stop; at least one prism; at least one lens; at least one lens array, in particular at least one microlens array; at least one optical filter; at least one polarization filter; at least one bandpass filter; at least one liquid crystal filter, in particular a liquid crystal tunable filter; at least one short-pass filter; at least one long-pass filter; at least one notch filter; at least one interference filter; at least one transmission grating; at least one nonlinear optical element, in particular one birfringent optical element; —at least two optical sensors (113), wherein each optical sensor (113) has at least one light sensitive area (121), wherein each optical sensor (113) is designed to generate at least one sensor signal in response to an illumination of its respective light-sensitive area by the light beam (131) generated by the angle dependent optical element (130); at least one evaluation device (133) being configured for determining at least one longitudinal coordinate z of the object (112) by evaluating a combined signal Q from the sensor signals.

    Abstract: A detector for determining a position of at least one object is disclosed and includes at least one sensor element having a matrix of optical sensors, the optical sensors each having a light-sensitive area. Each optical sensor is designed to generate at least one sensor signal in response to an illumination of its respective light-sensitive area by a light beam propagating from the object to the detector. The sensor element is adapted to determine at least one reflection image. The detector also includes at least one evaluation device adapted to select at least one reflection feature of the reflection image at least one first image position in the reflection image. The evaluation device is adapted to determine at least one reference feature in at least one reference image and at least one second image position in the reference image corresponding to the at least one reflection feature.

    Abstract: Described herein is a detector for determining a position of an object. The detector includes a sensor element having a matrix of optical sensors, wherein the sensor element is configured to determine a reflection image. The detector also includes an evaluation device configured to select a reflection feature of the reflection image at a first image position in the reflection image, determine a longitudinal coordinate z of the selected reflection feature by optimizing a blurring function fa, and determine a reference feature in a reference image at a second image position in the reference image corresponding to the reflection feature. The reference image and the reflection image are determined at two different spatial configurations, wherein the spatial configurations differ by a relative spatial constellation, wherein the evaluation device is configured to determine the relative spatial constellation from the longitudinal coordinate z and the first and the second image positions.
