Abstract: Described herein is a detector for determining a position of at least one object. The detector includes at least one sensor element having a matrix of optical sensors, the optical sensors each having a light-sensitive area, wherein the sensor element is configured to determine a reflection image of the object. The detector also includes an evaluation device configured to select a reflection feature of the reflection image, and determine a distance estimate of the selected reflection feature of the reflection image by optimizing at least one blurring function fa, wherein the distance estimate is given by a longitudinal coordinate z and an error interval ±ε. The evaluation device is adapted to determine at least one displacement region in at least one reference image corresponding to the distance estimate, and to match the selected reflection feature with at least one reference feature within the displacement region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical sensor, a detector comprising the optical sensor for an optical detection of at least one object, a method for manufacturing the optical sensor and various uses of the optical sensor and the detector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a human-machine interface, an entertainment device, a scanning system, a tracking system, a stereoscopic system, and a camera. The optical sensor (110) comprises a layer (112) of at least one photoconductive material (114), at least two individual electrical contacts (136, 136′) contacting the layer (112) of the photoconductive material (114), and a cover layer (116) deposited on the layer (112) of the photoconductive material (114), wherein the cover layer (116) is an amorphous layer comprising at least one metal-containing compound (120). The optical sensor (110) can be supplied as a non-bulky hermetic package which, nevertheless, provides a high degree of protection against possible degradation by humidity and/or oxygen. Moreover, the cover layer (116) is capable of activating the photoconductive material (114) which results in an increased performance of the optical sensor (110). Further, the optical sensor (110) may be easily manufactured and integrated on a circuit carrier device.

The first illumination source projects an illumination pattern including a plurality of illumination features onto a surface of an object. The second illumination source projects an illuminating light beam onto the object. The detector also includes an image capture device for determining a first image including a plurality of reflection features generated by the surface of the object in response to the illumination pattern and for determining a second image including two dimensional information associated with the surface of the object generated in response to the illuminating light beam. The detector also includes an evaluation device for evaluating the first image and the second image, identifying a geometrical feature of the object, determining a material property of the object, and comparing the two dimensional information to data stored in a database for authentication of the object.
