Optical Sensor Non-Parallel Light Beam Ratio Estimation

The patent uses pre-calculated simulation results as a virtual model (copy) of the complex integrating sphere measurement process. Instead of physically using an integrating sphere, the system creates a digital twin through Monte Carlo simulations that replicate the optical measurement process, allowing accurate optical property estimation without the complex physical device.

The patent replaces the mechanical/optical complex system (integrating sphere) with a computational system. By substituting the physical integrating sphere with computer-based Monte Carlo simulations and light transport modeling, the system achieves the same measurement precision while eliminating the need for complex mechanical and optical components.

The patent performs light transport simulations and pre-calculates the relationship between light source-detector distances and detected light amounts before actual measurements. By pre-establishing the expected light intensity patterns for various distances and configurations, the system can directly compare measured values against these pre-computed references, eliminating the need to physically adjust distances during measurement and thus maintaining stability.

The patent changes the approach from physically varying distance parameters to computationally varying simulation parameters. Instead of mechanically adjusting the distance between light source and detector modules, the system uses parameter changes in the Monte Carlo simulation to model different distance scenarios, then matches the actual measurement to the appropriate simulated scenario, maintaining measurement stability while preserving adaptability.
