Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods for using a sensor array to determine the position of a target object. An exemplary apparatus includes a sensor array having three or more sensors that each measures a distance to a target object in a coordinate system. The apparatus also includes a controller that identifies a first sensor pair (one or more) aligned along an axis that corresponds with a first coordinate axis, and processes measurements from the first sensor pair(s) to determine a first coordinate for the target object along the first coordinate axis. The controller also identifies a second sensor pair (one or more) aligned along an axis that corresponds with a second coordinate axis, and processes measurements from the second sensor pair(s) to determine a second coordinate for the target object along the second coordinate axis.
