In the method for determining the spatial location of points on the surface of an object by identifying a spatial line of sight to the point and the location of said point along said line of sight, the improvement wherein blanket radiant energy is projected onto the entirety of such object surface,

In the method for determining the spatial location of points on the surface of an object by identifying a spatial line of sight to the point and the location of said point along said line of sight, the improvement wherein blanket radiant energy is projected onto the entirety of such object surface, and collections of radiant energy reflected by respective sets of one or more zones of said object surface, each of such sets having a zone overlapping a zone of another set and one or more of said sets including zones encompassing less than the entirety of said object surface, are made separately in accordance with respective time patterns which are mutually overlapping in time determined with respect to such radiant energy projection.
