Abstract
Detecting position information related to a face, and more particularly to an eyeball in a face, using a detection and ranging system, such as a Radio Detection And Ranging (“RADAR”) system, or a Light Detection And Ranging (“LIDAR”) system. The position information may include a location of the eyeball, translational motion information related to the eyeball (e.g., displacement, velocity, acceleration, jerk, etc.), rotational motion information related to the eyeball (e.g., rotational displacement, rotational velocity, rotational acceleration, etc.) as the eyeball rotates within its socket.

1-19. (canceled)
A system for determining motion of a target, the system comprising:
- a video imaging system configured to capture a plurality of images of the target;
- a lidar system configured to generate a range measurement or a Doppler velocity measurement for a point on the target;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine, from the plurality of images of the target, at least one first aspect of motion of the target based on the plurality of images of the target,
- determine, from the range measurement or the Doppler velocity measurement, at least one second aspect of motion of the target, wherein the at least one first aspect of motion of the target is orthogonal to the at least one second aspect of motion of the target, and
- combine the at least one first aspect of motion of the target and the at least one second aspect of motion of the target to determine the motion of the target.
A method for determining motion of a target, the method comprising:
- capturing, via a video imaging system, a plurality of images of a target via a video imaging system;
- generating, via a lidar system, a range measurement or a Doppler velocity measurement for a point on the target;
- determining, from the plurality of images of the target, at least one first aspect of motion of the target;
- determining, from the range measurement or the Doppler velocity measurement, at least one second aspect of motion of the target;
- and
- combining the at least one first aspect of motion of the target and the at least one second aspect of motion of the target to determine the motion of the target.
