Apparatus and associated methods relate to ranging object(s) nearby an aircraft (12) using triangulation of pulses of spatially-patterned light projected upon and reflected by the object(s). The projected pulses provide rapidly-changing illumination of a spatially patterned portion of the scene. A camera (36, 38) receives a reflected portion of the projected pulse and focuses the received portion onto a plurality of light-sensitive pixels, thereby forming a pulse image. The pulse image includes pixel data indicative of a rate of change of light intensity focused thereon exceeding a predetermined threshold. Pixel coordinates, corresponding to a subset of the plurality of light-sensitive pixels that are indicative of the rate of change of light intensity exceeding a predetermined threshold, are identified. Trajectory and/or range data of object(s) in the scene are calculated, based on a projector location, a camera location, and the identified pixel coordinates.
