LASER PULSE DECODING USING A SENSOR

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18386009 titled 'LASER PULSE DECODING USING A SENSOR

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for using a sensor to perform laser signal decoding are disclosed. The sensor may be a global shutter sensor or a rolling shutter sensor. The sensor generates a first set of images while operating in a first mode. In response to detecting a laser signal in the first set of images, the sensor is caused to operate in a second mode. The laser signal includes an embedded frequency signal component and repeats at a periodic rate. While the sensor is operating in the second mode, the sensor generates a second set of images, which capture an entire period of the laser signal. From the second set of images, the embedded frequency signal component is determined. A decoding operation is performed using the embedded frequency signal component.
