Title: Norikazu Okada: Optical Sensing and Distance Calculation
Introduction
Norikazu Okada is an inventor based in Tenri, Japan. His work includes an optical sensing invention that uses reflected light to calculate the distance between a sensor and an object.
Latest Patents
Okada is associated with 1 patent: “Optical Sensor, Electronic Device, Distance Calculation Method, and Storage Medium of Program.” The invention describes a sensor that emits light toward a region containing an object and receives the reflected light. It generates a histogram relating the time between emission and reception to the intensity of the received light, calculates the histogram’s skewness, and uses both the histogram and skewness to determine the distance to the object.
Career Highlights
Okada is associated with Sharp Semiconductor Innovation Corporation. His patent focuses on processing optical measurements to support distance calculation.
Collaborations
Mami Tanaka and Kouji Iwamori are identified as Okada’s coworkers.
Conclusion
Norikazu Okada’s patent presents an optical sensing approach that combines reflected-light timing, signal intensity, and histogram skewness to calculate distance.
