Method and system for optoelectronic detection and location of objects
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising instructions for a data processing apparatus to control an apparatus for optically providing information describing an object in motion relative to a field of view, such that the object passes through the field of view, the product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the instructions being operable to cause the data processing apparatus to:
- receive data representing a plurality of one-dimensional images of the field of view, whereinthe images are oriented approximately parallel to the direction of motion; and
a plurality of the images correspond to a plurality of positions of the object relative to the field of view; and
calculate information describing the object based on a plurality of the images.

Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for optoelectronic detection and location of moving objects. The disclosed methods and systems capture one-dimensional images of a field of view through which objects may be moving, make measurements in those images, select from among those measurements those that are likely to correspond to objects in the field of view, make decisions responsive to various characteristics of the objects, and produce signals that indicate those decisions. The disclosed methods and systems provide excellent object discrimination, electronic setting of a reference point, no latency, high repeatability, and other advantages that will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
