"and to increase the effective number of "pixels" in a given image to 100,000. " - Okay. They are aiming for 1/10th of a megapixel image at a faster rate frame rate. The use of 'effective' pixels makes me dubious as that is traditionally used to misrepresent actual resolution.Now, what are 'effective' pixels. Light doesn't tend to travel back along the exact same path when it reflects. It's a projected beam, so I'm disregarding ambient light. Maybe it's the average amount of return or something. A sample image would have given it some meaning.

"It works by using a fast laser pulse dispersed in space and then stretched in time and detected electronically. " - My brain just melted
