An object locating system detects the presence of an object as it passes
through two consecutive planar fields of view. Two pairs of optical
sensor arrays with multiple, directed, pixel detectors observe the object
from two angles as the object passes through each consecutive field of
view. The locations of penetrations of the respective fields of view are
calculated by triangulation. Using this data, the known location of the
take-off point and/or the delay between penetrations, the trajectory of
the object in time and space is calculated. Applications include
projecting the range of a driven golf ball, measuring the respective
arriving and departing velocities of a hit baseball, and determining the
trajectory and origin of an arriving projectile, as in the case of the
threat to a military vehicle.
