Abstract
A measurement system and methods are disclosed. The system has intensity coding optics comprising a plurality of imaging channels with overlapping fields of view. The intensity coding optics are adapted to provide intensity coded information indicative of a position of one or more objects, wherein each of the imaging channels provides a difference in intensity verses an angular position of the one or more objects. The system also has an electromagnetic energy detector adapted to: (a) receive the intensity coded information, wherein the electromagnetic energy detector comprises a size larger than a spatial resolution of the intensity coding optics, and (b) output data from the electromagnetic energy detector; and a processing device adapted to receive the data and determine the position of the one or more objects.
