It is found analytically and experimentally that four characteristic distances intervals can generally be distinguished in the formation of images of objects in active pulse vision systems. A physical interpretation of their origin is given. Four algorithms are proposed for determining the distance to objects using the characteristic distances or for measuring calibration constants. The depth of the visibility zone is found to depend on the sum of the durations of the laser illumination pulse and the strobe pulse of the receiver system.
