The functional principle of MPT

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: P+F/Double Blessing

Optical ranging is based on the principle of triangulation. With this geometric approach, the interval from the sensor to the target can be accurately measured by changing the viewpoint within the triangle.

                                 The functional principle of MPT

The super-strong light source emits a beam to the target object, which then reflects the beam back. The reflected beam is then picked up by a photosensitive receiver inside the sensor, which is a multi-pixel array.

Depending on the distance between the sensor and the target, the reflected light will be formed in different directions on the multipixel array: if the target object is closer, the reflected viewpoint will change greatly. If the object is far away, the viewpoint will change slightly.

By observing the changes in the reflected light viewpoint and the orientation of the spot on the receiver, the distance from the target object to the sensor can be accurately measured. This calculation method relies on a built-in microprocessor and corresponding messy software algorithms.

With laser sensors, targets can be detected from a two-dimensional viewpoint. The detected target is no longer just a speck of light, but a ray of light. This ray is emitted and projected into two-dimensional space, where it can be interpreted by the prospector in the form of a light intersection. In this case, a planar CMOS sensor can be used as an exploration acceptor.

This triangulation principle, combined with conventional measurement methods, enables accurate detection of the spacing, height and width of the target object.
