How can I determine exact position of an object1 in front of another object2?

Hi!

How can i determine exactly position of an object1 in front of another object2 (object1 is moving, object2 is static)

thanks!

Re: Determine position!

you can try using transmitting high frequency sound waves and calculate distance using the time taken to return back.....

Hello,

use ultrasonic devices. You can calculate the distance using the delay between the transmitet ultrasound and the returned wave.

Re: Determine position!

are they methods sensitive? (< 1mm)

Re: Determine position!

they r not that sensitive if the object reflecting the wave itself is moving.... since sound wave speed isnt that high... maybe using reflection could be sensitive enough....

Re: Determine position!

Are they other methods sensitive? ex. optic etc. Or can we augment sensitivity of that method (ultrasonic ). Objetcs we used are moving.

Re: Determine position!

ya optics is a faster way but i think the sensors and transmitters are costly..... tell me what is the object and its speed????

Use MTI algorithm (Moving Target Indicator) to detect moving object. (search Google for: MTI and "Moving Target Indication"

If you use light signaling then these Time-to-Digital and Digital-to-Time converters can be used to range the moving object: http://www.acam.de/index.php?id=26&L=0).
