Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is disclosed a sensing device ( 100 ) adapted to receive light emitted from a plurality of light sources (A, B), each of the plurality of light sources (A, B) emitting light comprising a light source identifier. The sensing device ( 100 ) comprises a sensing module ( 110 ) comprising a light selection unit ( 114 ) configured to receive at least a portion of the light emitted from the plurality of light sources (A, B) and a light selection unit ( 114 ) configured to receive at least a portion of the light emitted from the plurality of light sources (A, B). The light selection unit ( 114 ) is adapted to selectively convey a selected portion of light received by the light selection unit ( 114 ) to a second photo sensor unit ( 116 ). The light selection unit ( 114 ) is arranged relatively to the first photo sensor unit ( 112 ), or vice versa, in such a way that the selected portion of light is associated with a photo sensor of a plurality of photo sensors of the first photo sensor unit ( 114 ) detecting light.
