“Interferometric Posture Detection System”

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of optical systems for detection of the orientation of mobile objects in space . The main application is helmet posture detection inside of an aircraft cockpit. The system according to the invention operates by interferometry. It comprises a fixed electro-optical device comprising one or more collimated point-like emission sources (S) and a detection assembly comprising one or more point-like photosensitive detectors (D). Two or more retro-reflecting devices referred to as "cube corner" (C1, C2, C3) are disposed on the mobile object. This system can be completed by optical means operating in polarized light mode allowing the direction of variation of the interference fringes to be determined and by other optical devices allowing an initial orientation to be measured.
