Ascentia Imaging, Inc. was formed to expand the opportunities for information-based optical systems using computational imaging technology. Ascentia Imaging is pioneering novel optical technology that utilizes computational imaging to deliver information—not pictures—for application-specific systems. For applications that require high precision angle, range and motion measurements, this innovative technology provides the highest precision with the lowest costs.

THESE SYSTEMS HAVE THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS:

• Monolithic/rugged and can be used in harsh environments
• Fast update rates of 10 Hz to 10 kHz
• Able to simultaneously track multiple targets
• Light weight
• Low power
• No moving parts
• Relatively inexpensive
• High-precision range, angle, localization, orientation and motion information

EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF SYSTEMS THAT ARE POSSIBLE
WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY ARE:

• Measuring instruments that can measure angles with accuracies of a few arc seconds while tracking multiple targets
• Compasses that derive high-precision bearing information from
  measurements of the sky
• Instruments that inexpensively determine a body’s 6 degree-of-freedom
  orientation with high precision and zero drift
