Abstract
A camera-based single-image sensor is presented, that is able to measure the distance of one or multiple object points (light emitters). The sensor consists of a camera, whose lens is upgraded with a diffractive optical element (DOE). It fulfils two tasks: adding a vortex point spread function (PSF) and replication of the vortex PSFs to a predefined pattern of K spots. Both, shape and rotation of the vortex PSF is sensitive to defocus. The sensor concept is presented and its capabilities evaluated both on axis and off-axis. The achieved standard deviation of the error ranges between 8.5 μm (on-axis) and 3.5 μm (off-axis) within a measurement range of 20 mm. However, as soon as calibration and measurement position no longer match, the accuracy is limited. An analysis of the effects responsible for this are also part of the publication.
