3D movement tracking and scale verification help self-checkout stations detect obscured items, out-of-view transfers, and weight mismatches.
Photodiode slices reconstruct a Gaussian beam profile from angled strikes, enabling accurate laser power and harmful beam detection.
Orthogonal spherical cap functions improve biaxial pointing correction by resisting noise and stabilizing error fitting for telescopes and similar systems.
Star image matching locates the celestial pole and guides RA axis adjustment, improving telescope polar alignment accuracy with less user strain.
Spatial filtering and comparator logic reject photodiode noise, enabling fast, accurate centroid and angle detection at low light levels.
An anamorphic lens and dispersive element separate angle and wavelength data to detect and locate laser sources amid solar background noise.
Slight lens defocus spreads laser events across pixels, improving beam localization and limiting power use in LWS.
