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


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094392 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 an intensity determination means. The scanner uses laser light to scan a measurement target and generates distance data and luminance data based on the reflected light. The intensity determination means adjusts the intensity of the laser light dynamically to maintain a consistent luminance of the reflected light despite changes in distance during scanning.

* Three-dimensional scanner scans measurement target with laser light
* Scanner receives reflected light to generate distance and luminance data
* Intensity determination means adjusts laser light intensity based on distance data
* Intensity adjustment suppresses changes in luminance caused by distance variations

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be used in various industries such as:
* 3D scanning and modeling
* Robotics and automation
* Quality control and inspection

== Problems Solved ==
The system addresses issues such as:
* Inconsistent luminance in scanned data
* Accuracy and precision in distance measurements
* Efficiency in scanning processes

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Improved accuracy and reliability in measurements
* Enhanced quality control and inspection processes
* Increased efficiency and productivity in scanning operations

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology can be applied in:
* Manufacturing for quality control
* Construction for site measurements
* Healthcare for medical imaging

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be laser scanning systems used in industrial applications for distance measurements and 3D modeling.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the system handle different types of surfaces and materials during scanning? ===
The system's ability to adjust laser intensity dynamically may help in dealing with various surfaces and materials, but the specific mechanisms for this adaptation are not detailed in the abstract.

=== What are the limitations of the system in terms of scanning speed and resolution? ===
While the system aims to maintain consistent luminance during scanning, there may be trade-offs in terms of speed and resolution that are not explicitly mentioned in the abstract.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the optical sensing system includes a three-dimensional scanner and an intensity determination means. the three-dimensional scanner scans a measurement target with a laser light and receives reflected light of the laser light to generate distance data indicating a distance to the measurement target and luminance data indicating luminance of the reflected light. the intensity determination means dynamically determines intensity of the laser light based on the distance data so as to suppress a change in luminance of the reflected light caused by a length of the distance during the scanning of the three-dimensional scanner.
