Abstract
Object detection systems are provided herein. An example system includes an enclosure formed by a sidewall to define an interaction volume, at least one light source for illuminating the interaction volume with a light, at least one light sensor that senses disturbances in light intensity due to scattering, reflection, or absorption of the light by objects within the interaction volume, and a controller that is configured to detect an object or object behavior within interaction volume based on the disturbances in the light intensity.
Claims23
An object detection system, comprising:
- an interaction volume;
- at least one light-emitting diode for illuminating the interaction volume with light;
- at least one light detector arranged to record scattered or reflected light from objects within the interaction volume, the at least one light detector being configured to detect a waveform of light that is resultant from a modulation of light intensity by a wing beat;
- and
- a controller configured to analyze and store the waveform of light that is resultant from the modulation of light intensity by the wing beat along with a time stamp.
An object detection system comprising:
- an interaction volume;
- at least one light source for illuminating the interaction volume with a light;
- at least one light sensor that senses disturbances in light intensity due to objects within the interaction volume;
- and
- a controller configured to detect an object or object behavior within the interaction volume based on the disturbances in the light intensity,
- the controller being further configured to detect a waveform of light that is resultant from a modulation of the light intensity by a wing beat or by biometric markers, the controller being further configured to analyze and store the waveform of light that is resultant from the modulation of light intensity by the wing beat along with a time stamp.
An object detection system, comprising:
- a light source comprising at least one light emitting device;
- at least one light sensor being masked or equipped with a filter;
- an interaction volume defined by a space between the light source and the at least one light sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to detect a waveform of light that is resultant from a modulation of light intensity by a wing beat or by biometric markers, the controller being further configured to analyze and store the waveform of light that is resultant from the modulation of light intensity by the wing beat along with a time stamp.
