    摘要: An optical sensor includes a light transmitter for transmitting pulsed light signals and a light receiver for receiving them. In order to suppress the effects of interfering noise light, the light signals are transmitted according to a specified pattern including pulses in packages separated from each other by a specified interval, the pulses within each of the packages following one another with a specified carrier frequency. Groups each including two or more such pulse packages may be employed. The light receiver converts a received light signal into an electrical signal and directly thereafter passes the electrical signal through a bandpass filter with a pass band including this carrier frequency. The light receiver may normalize received electrical pulses by suppressing those which are too low or narrow and uniformizing the width of those not suppressed, expand the pulses with the uniformized widths to improve accuracy of evaluation, integrate the expanded pulses and examine whether the integrated signal exceeds a specified threshold value.

    摘要: Light is projected upon a road surface (LD) from a light source (11) for illuminating the road surface. Diffuse reflected light from the road surface (LD) is received by light sensors (31A, 31B) through a spatial filter, and the resulting light-reception signals are applied to a differential amplifier circuit (51). A center-frequency component corresponding to the spatial frequency of the spatial filter is extracted by a tracking band-pass filter (52), and the intensity (Da) thereof is detected by an amplitude detector circuit (54). Low-frequency component intensity (Db) corresponding to a spatial frequency lower than the spatial frequency of the spatial filter is detected by a tracking low-pass filter (55) and an amplitude detector circuit (56). The condition of the road surface is judged to be snow, gravel or asphalt in a discriminating circuit (60) based upon the center-frequency component intensity (Da) and the low-frequency component intensity (Db).

    摘要: A device for measuring the speed of an object. The device includes a spatial filter scheme to provide quick-response photodetectors and an efficient use of light. The device projects light onto the object by a light source 1, and the light reflected by the object is received by a lens. This light passes through aperture stop 4 and strikes prism array 7, where it is split alternately into two paths at a fixed pitch with respect to the optical axis. The two split beams are received respectively by two photodetectors. The speed of the object moving relative to the measuring device can be calculated based on the data collected by photodetectors.
