Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé (100) et un appareil (500, 630) qui permettent de mesurer la réflectivité en temps réel, une plate-forme mobile (600) et un support de stockage lisible par ordinateur. Le procédé (100) consiste : à émettre un signal d'impulsion optique vers un objet mesuré ; à recevoir, en temps réel, un signal d'impulsion réfléchi correspondant au signal d'impulsion optique ; à échantillonner le signal d'impulsion réfléchi reçu en temps réel, de façon à obtenir un résultat d'échantillonnage ; à déterminer, sur la base du résultat d'échantillonnage, une valeur caractéristique du signal d'impulsion réfléchi, à acquérir un angle d'incidence entre le signal d'impulsion optique émis correspondant à la valeur caractéristique et l'objet mesuré, et à calculer, sur la base de l'angle d'incidence, la réflectivité de l'objet mesuré.
