==OPTICAL SENSING SYSTEM, OPTICAL SENSING DEVICE, AND OPTICAL SENSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18207443 titled 'OPTICAL SENSING SYSTEM, OPTICAL SENSING DEVICE, AND OPTICAL SENSING METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The optical sensing system described in the patent application includes a three-dimensional scanner and a scanning density determination means. The scanner measures the distance to a measurement target by scanning it with laser light and receiving the reflected light. The scanning density determination means adjusts the scanning density based on the distance to the measurement point or the luminance of the reflected light to maintain a consistent point cloud density.

* Three-dimensional scanner measures distance to a target using laser light
* Scanning density determination means adjusts scanning density based on distance or luminance of reflected light
* Aim is to suppress variation in point cloud density caused by distance variations

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be used in various industries such as construction, manufacturing, and robotics for accurate distance measurements and 3D modeling.

== Problems Solved ==
The system addresses the issue of inconsistent point cloud density in 3D scanning caused by varying distances to measurement points.

== Benefits ==
- Improved accuracy in distance measurements
- Consistent point cloud density for better 3D modeling
- Dynamic adjustment of scanning density for optimal results

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Dynamic Scanning Density Determination in Optical Sensing Systems" could be utilized in industries such as:
- Construction for site surveying and building modeling
- Manufacturing for quality control and product design
- Robotics for navigation and object recognition

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of fixed scanning densities in optical sensing systems, which may result in inconsistent point cloud densities.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

== How does the system handle different types of surfaces that may affect the reflection of laser light? ==
The patent application does not provide details on how the system compensates for different surface materials or textures that could impact the accuracy of distance measurements.

== What is the power consumption of the three-dimensional scanner and how does it affect the overall efficiency of the system? ==
The patent application does not mention the power requirements or consumption of the scanner, which could be crucial for assessing the system's efficiency and practicality in real-world applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The optical sensing system includes a three-dimensional scanner and a scanning density determination means. The three-dimensional scanner measures a distance to a measurement target by scanning the measurement target with a laser light and receiving reflected light of the laser light. The scanning density determination means dynamically determines a scanning density based on a distance to a distance measurement point or luminance of the reflected light during scanning of the three-dimensional scanner so as to suppress variation in a point cloud density caused by a length of the distance to the distance measurement point.
