AUTONOMOUS ROTATING SENSOR DEVICE AND CORRESPONDING DATA PROCESSING OPTIMIZATION METHOD
A method of controlling a rotational imaging device, and which includes capturing imaging data from a sensor in the imaging device; and controlling a rotational movement of the rotational imaging device to be synchronized with the capturing of the image data via a same system clock.
1 . A method of controlling a rotational imaging device, the method comprising:
capturing imaging data from a sensor in the imaging device; and
controlling a rotational movement of the rotational imaging device to be synchronized with the capturing of the image data via a same system clock.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the system clock is a masterclock of the system.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the masterclock uses a precision time protocol.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
controlling a view angle of the sensor of the rotational imaging device with respect to an azimuthal angle to maintain a predetermined constant azimuthal angle.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
controlling a rotational scan speed of the rotational imaging device to minimize a positional drift in the view angle.
6 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
controlling an angular position of the rotational imaging device to minimize a positional drift in the view angle.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
dividing the imaging data into at least two parts.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the dividing the imaging date comprises:
grouping the data parts according to an angular position or range of a scan at which the data parts were acquired.
