View original public information →For the indoor optical link test bench, the light point timing and drift are used as the observation route, and the drift covariance and main frequency are planned to be output. The page is for project evaluation and does not mean that the development has been completed or has been accepted on site.
Global shutter or known readout timing, saves timestamps, and exposures adapted to frequency of motion. Communication beacon receiving optical path in a laboratory or authorized testing site
Global shutter or known readout timing, saves timestamps, exposures fit to frequency of motion
Existing algorithmic evidence:A101–A112 only complete analytical synthesis spot and controlled geometry verification; see laser_spot_benchmark.json
The light point detection front-end or timing statistics module can be reused, but the project still needs to add geometric calibration, time synchronization, motion compensation or equipment system integration.
Gaps in this scenario:Requires sampling rate/exposure verification, time synchronization and reference target camera motion compensation; not a substitute for laser Doppler vibrometers. The outdoor link availability cannot be directly derived. Point observation only supports the acquisition/tracking front end, and the data link needs to be implemented independently.
Route-level gaps:Requires sampling rate/exposure verification, time synchronization and reference target camera motion compensation; not a substitute for laser Doppler vibrometers
"Partially reusable" only describes the relative development volume and does not constitute a commitment to accuracy, tempo, stability or delivery time.
Verify aliasing, phase, drift and frame loss with a known frequency shaker or encoder comparison. Known angle motion table, communication reference and disturbance injection test
| Acceptance items | Evidence required for project confirmation | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Inputs and samples | Real device original frames, normal/abnormal samples, exposure and light path conditions, sample grouping and set aside | Not provided, waiting for project input |
| Magnitude and Error | Independent reference value, calibration record, error statistical caliber and mutual confirmation threshold | Not verified |
| Exceptions and boundaries | Anticipated handling of missed detections, false detections, overexposure, occlusion, reflection, out-of-view and communication abnormalities | To be defined |
| System integration | Interface, time synchronization, deployment platform, tempo, log, version and continuous running record | Not integrated |
The source supports measurement principles or similar applications; the module combination, device and acceptance method in this scenario are engineering derivation, and product verification has not been completed.
