Hyperacuity system and methods for real time and analog detection and kinematic state tracking

A method of calculating a position of a feature of an object at hyperacuity accuracy, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of output signals from a plurality of sensors, wherein:
• the plurality of sensors have overlapping spatial response profiles that are non-linear and axio-symmetric about respective centers of each of the plurality of sensors;
• and
• the plurality of sensors produce the plurality of output signals based on the overlapping spatial response profiles;
• generating first weighted signals by weighting each of the plurality of output signals with respective first sinusoidal weights;
• generating second weighted signals by weighting each of the plurality of output signals with respective second sinusoidal weights;
• generating a first orthogonal resultant signal, wherein the first orthogonal resultant signal comprises a sum of the first weighted signals;
• generating a second orthogonal resultant signal, wherein the second orthogonal resultant signal comprises a sum of the second weighted signals;
• and
• determining the position of the feature using the first orthogonal resultant signal and the second orthogonal resultant signal.
