this is how the sharp gp2d12 and friends work, although instead of a CCD
they use a special pickup that resembles an array of phototransistors
connected to a strip of resistors so the combination of the lens and the
resistance gives distance.
There's an article in seattlerobotics' encoder about parallax too.
