Zusammenfassung:A system, device and methodology for detecting an object and its position in a field of view of a beam fan. The system can comprise a reflection detector sensor array arranged to detect a light beam reflected by an object impinged by a beam fan in the field of view and output a reflected beam position trigger signal; a line sensor arranged to capture an image of the reflected light beam and output beam reflection data corresponding to the light beam; an angle position sensor array arranged to detect an angle of the beam fan with respect to a central axis and output a beam fan position signal; and a speedup processor arranged to receive the reflected beam position trigger signal, receive the beam reflection data, receive the beam fan position signal, and output the beam reflection data to a central processor. A position of the object in the field of view can be determined based on the beam reflection data and beam fan position signal.
