A method for detecting objects in a scene using a synchronized illuminating and sensing process is provided herein. The method includes the following steps: illuminating a light beam along an illumination line within a scene; sensing reflections of said light, wherein said reflections come from objects located within a specified depth of field within said scene, along a sensing line; generating a tempo spatial synchronization between the illumination line and the sensing line, wherein said synchronization determines said depth of field; relatively shifting at least one of: the illuminating line, and the sensing line, based on said tempo spatial synchronization; and accumulating said reflections, thereby detecting said objects. |
