Utility
Scanning of Grid-based Sensing Arrays
21 Sep 23
Provided is a process that includes: obtaining low-sensitivity values mapped to respective locations within an area of a sensor array; determining differences between respective ones of the low-sensitivity values and respective ones of prior values for the locations, one example being tare values for the locations; obtaining a set of detection locations within the area of the sensor array based on differences exceeding a threshold; obtaining, after switching at least a portion of the sensor array to a high sensitivity mode, high sensitivity values mapped to respective locations within the area of the sensor array, each of the locations mapped to a respective second prior value, one example being a tare value in the high sensitivity mode; determining, for each location within the set of detected locations, a value based on the respective high sensitivity value and the respective second prior value; and outputting, the values and the locations.
