[PS1-3-2-3] Ranging camera

By a ranging camera the simultaneous capturing of range measurements for dynamical (close-range) 3D applications is given. These ranging cameras allow additionally the simultaneous capturing of single range and co-registered intensity images while still maintaining high update rates (up to 100 releases per second). Typical applications are autonomous navigation of robots, driver assistance, traffic monitoring or tracking of pedestrians for building surveillance.
