Deep Rain Sensing Expertise
Opto-Electronic Design, Inc has developed a myriad of specialized tools to optimize the Rain Tracker. These are in themselves complex and difficult engineering achievements.

Our in-house developed real time data logging of algorithm variables was part of what made the human-factors tuning of the system possible. Only the Rain Tracker uses sophisticated Digital Signal Processing to maintain sensitivity to the smallest raindrops while rejecting the effects of sunlight.

Here the Automated Target Evaluator maps the response area of the Rain Tracker using an X-Y gantry and synthetic raindrop. |
|
Response of the Rain Tracker is plotted using the Automated Rain
Generator. This computer controlled device produces a precisely
calibrated flow rate, and measures the actuation period of the wiper
control system / sensor under test. It is surprisingly difficult to
generate and appropriately low flow rate; the low flow setting is a
deposition rate of just 2 micrometers per minute! |
Some things you can only accomplish with time. These couplers have been in this long term adhesion experiment since 1999 |
Our knowledge and capabilities in rain sensor technology go far beyond what we have presented in these few pages. Please email us at info@oedes.com to discuss your original equipment application.
