Abstract
In this chapter distance-mapping cameras that utilize charged coupled device (CCD) video cameras as their basis of operation are described. The lens of the CCD video camera projects the image of the object onto a pixel array. The individual distance to the object is measured for each pixel in the array. They are fairly compact, portable, easy to use, operate in real time and provide good power of resolution. Examples of applications that are only made possible by using this type of distance mapping camera are also included.
