Abstract

A detector (110) is disclosed, the detector (110) comprising a projector (122) for illuminating an object (112) with two illumination patterns (124). The projector (122) comprises a tunable laser source (126) and a diffractive optical element (128). The projector (122) is configured to generate two illumination patterns (124) each comprising a plurality of illumination features by controlling a characteristic in the tunable laser source (126). The projector (122) comprises a control unit (136) for controlling the characteristic of the tunable laser source (126). The detector comprises a sensor element (114) having a matrix (116) of optical sensors (118) for generating a sensor signal. The detector comprises an evaluation device for selecting at least one reflection feature of a reflection image and for determining a ordinate z of the selected reflection feature by evaluating a combined signal Q from the sensor signal.
