Distance measurement optical sensor with 2d sensing array and feedback
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230375673A1) describes a distance measurement (DM) optical sensor that includes a two-dimensional sensing array with DM sensing elements and feedback sensing elements. The DM sensing elements generate DM output signals based on light sensed, while the feedback sensing elements generate feedback output signals. These signals are then output through DM output paths and feedback output paths, respectively. The sensor also includes a controller that triggers the generation and outputting of these signals, with multiple triggers occurring during different pulse-related transmission and reception windows.
Furthermore, the patent application details various configurations and features of the DM optical sensor, such as the allocation of feedback sensing elements, the use of misalignment compensation circuits, and the implementation of time division multiplexing for feedback output signals. The sensor also includes different sizes and shapes for feedback sensing elements, as well as vertical and horizontal alignment indicative feedback sensing elements. Additionally, the application describes a method for distance measurement using the sensor, as well as a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling the sensor's operations. Overall, the patent application outlines a sophisticated optical sensor system for accurate distance measurement with various innovative features and functionalities.
