THE POSSIBLE USE OF THE CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL RANGEFINDING

Abstract

A new transducer capable of automatic background compensation is suggested for use in an electronic comparator system employed as a passive optical rangefinding technique. The transducer, which is a vacuum tube similar to the image orthicon, achieves the background compensation by neutralization of opposite charge patterns on a special target plate structure. Some of the theoretical capabilities and sensitivities of such a system are analyzed.
