Method for controlling detection device for detecting object of scene, involves switching detection diode based on operation of laser for reducing backscattered radiation on overlapped portions of laser path and field of view of camera

摘要

The method involves switching a detection diode according to the operation of a laser (12) for reducing the backscattered radiation applied to overlapped portions of a laser path (32) and a field of view (40) of a camera (16). The detection diode is switched between a period of fixed observation and a period of display by using a switching circuit, where the camera includes multiple elements presented in the form of a focal plane array. An independent claim is also included for a detection device comprising a camera.
