| A distance between a light source and a surface may be determined by emitting pulses of light from the light source and measuring an intensity of the light after the light reaches the surface. To determine a true distance, aliased distances, which are outside of a known distance segment, are disregarded. The distance segment may be defined by a modulation period of light emitted by the light source. The distance segment may be determined based on a ratio of a measured intensity of light captured during a first time interval and a second time interval, and a comparison of other types of evidence data that identifies a correct distance segment. The evidence data may include data associated with the amplitude (intensity) of the light captured, temporal variations in data, and/or analysis data collected from other surfaces that are adjacent to the surface. | ||||||

| In a method and a light sensor for the optical monitoring of a monitored zone, light is transmitted into the monitored zone and light reflected back or remitted back from the monitored zone is detected by first and second light receivers, each having two spatial detection zones for the scanned zone and the background zone of the monitored zone. A first output signal of the first light receiver is produced depending on whether the center of the light reflected back/remitted back is located in the first or in the second detection zone of the first light receiver, with the first output signal only being able to adopt one of two possible states. In a similar way, a second output signal of the second light receiver is produced. The first and the second output signals are logically linked to one another to produce an object determination signal. | ||||||
