Abstract
Absolute optical angle sensor is described that is an essentially digital opto-electronic device. Its purpose is to resolve the relative and absolute angle position of coded disk using Pseudorandom-code and Geometry-code. In this technique, the angular position of disk is determined in coarse sense first by Pseudorandom-code. A further fine angular position data based on Pixel count is obtained by Geometry-code which result 0.006$^{\circ}$ resolution of the system provided that 7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line image sensor are used. The proposed technique is novel in a number of aspects, such that it has the non-contact reflective nature, high resolution of the system, relatively simple code pattern, and inherent digital nature of the sensor. And what is more the system can be easily modified to torque sensor by applying two coded disks in a manner that observe the difference in absolute angular displacement. The digital opto-electronic nature of the proposed sensor, along with its reporting of both torque and angle, makes the system ideal for use in intelligent vehicle systems. In this communication, we propose a technique that utilizes Pseudorandom-code and Geometry-code to determine accurate angular position of coded disk. We present the experimental results to demonstrate the validity of the idea.
