摘要 |
<p>The invention concerns a method for measuring distance between a first object (1) and a second object (2) which consists in: a) emitting an infrared wave radiation (3) from an emitter (4) fixed on the first object (1), said radiation (3) being emitted towards said second object (2); and b) detecting the return of said radiation after it has been reflected by said second object (2) on a receiver (5) fixed on said first object (1) proximate to said emitter (4). The inventive method is characterised in that it consists in: 1/ gradually varying the power of the infrared radiation emitted by said emitter (1) until it reaches a detection power (Ps) corresponding to the power of the wave emitted as from which the radiation reflected by said second object is detected by said receiver; and 2/ calculating the distance (D) between said first object (1) and said second object (2) from the value of said detection power, by establishing an equating correlation between said distance (D) and said detection power. The invention also concerns a device for detection and distance measurement.</p> |
