Optical Detection

Optical detection is a method that uses light to identify or measure something. Devices like cameras or sensors shine light on an object or area, then analyze the reflected or transmitted light to gather information. This process is used in applications such as barcode scanning, fingerprint recognition, or environmental monitoring. By detecting specific light patterns, wavelengths, or intensities, optical detection can accurately identify characteristics, movements, or changes in a target. It plays a crucial role in many technologies, enabling precise, contactless measurements and data collection across various industries.
