Abstract:
A vehicle, imaging system and method of determining a range of an object to a vehicle. The imaging system includes a light source, a receiver and a processor. The light source is configured to transmit a source signal at a source frequency at an object, wherein the source signal is reflected from the object to create a reflected signal. The receiver includes a sensor array and is configured to modulate the reflected signal at a mixing frequency to generate a down-converted signal and record the down-converted signal at the sensor array. The processor is configured to determine a range of the object to the vehicle using the down-converted signal.
