Angular Displacement Measurement Using Optical Sensor

A Differential Reflective Intensity Optical Fiber Angular Displacement Sensor

In this paper, a novel differential reflective intensity optical fiber angular displacement sensor was proposed. This sensor can directly measure the angular and axial linear displacement of a flat surface. The structure of the sensor probe is simple and its basic principle was first analyzed according to the intensity modulation mechanisms. Secondly, in order to trim the dark output voltage to...

Fiber optic angular displacement sensor

A reflective type fiber optic angular displacement sensor has recently been developed, which consists of a light source, an optical isolator, a four-port single-mode fiber bidirectional coupler, and a light intensity detection system (two silicon photodetectors and ananalog divider). By using a normal He-Ne laser with &2% stability in light intensity, we have achieved an angle resolution of 10e...

Vision-based displacement measurement sensor using modified Taylor approximation approach

The development of image sensors and optics lenses has contributed to the rapidly increasing use of vision-based methods as noncontact measurement methods in many areas. A high-speed camera system is developed to realize the displacement measurement in real time. Conventional visual measurement algorithms are commonly subjected to various shortcomings, such as complex processes, multiparameter ...

Surface Contour Measurement Using a Short Range Laser Displacement Sensor

Center for Automotive Materials and Manufacturing National Research Council Canada 800 Collip Circle, London, Ontario, Canada, N6G 4X8 Contact: [email protected] Reviewed, accepted September 18, 2009 Abstract Non-contact freeform surface measurement is widely used in industry. To acquire the surface data, a laser displacement sensor and a motion system are typically used. One of the factors t...
