A method and a system are disclosed for detecting a depth of an object illuminated by at least one first light pulse. Detection of light reflected from the object illuminated by the at least one first light pulse by a first row of pixels of 2D pixel array is enabled for a first predetermined period of time in which the first row of pixels forms an epipolar line of a scanning line of a first light pulse. Enabling of the detection by the first row of pixels for the first predetermined period of time occurs a second predetermined period of time after a beginning of a pulse cycle T of the at least one first light pulse. Detection signals are generated corresponding to the detected light reflected from the object, and the generated detection signals are used to determine a depth of the object.
