Proposed and demonstrated is the coded access optical sensor (CAOS) line camera, a one-dimensional or line version of the two-dimensional (2D) digital-micromirror-device (DMD)-based CAOS camera. The proposed line camera design includes a precise dual-axis mirror scanning galvo system incorporating feedback control that eliminates the need for mechanical motion of either the camera or the target. CAOS line scan imaging experiments using a white light source with two test targets are conducted and compared with non-scan 2D CAOS imaging. Specifically, a 2D DMD operated as both a full-frame and a line modulator is used to demonstrate both full-frame (${127} \times {45}$127×45 pixels) and line (127 pixels) scan CAOS imaging. Also demonstrated is an increase in field of view (FOV) of the camera unit using the galvo system with FOV increased by factors of 2.87 and 1.67 in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. In addition, proposed for future implementation is a CAOS line camera design that allows analog and hybrid analog-digital time-frequency CAOS-mode irradiance coding for realizing improved inter-pixel cross talk. The CAOS line camera versus a 2D image sensor camera is suited for broad-spectrum large area/FOV imaging applications where high linear dynamic range and low contrast recovery are critical challenges, such as in active illumination inspection of archeological and art works and industrial machine parts.

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the hybrid triple coding empowered frequency division multiple access (FDMA)-code division multiple access (CDMA) mode of the coded access optical sensor (CAOS) camera is demonstrated. Compared to the independent FDMA and CDMA modes, the FDMA-CDMA mode has a novel high-security space-time-frequency triple signal encoding design for robust, faster, linear irradiance extraction at a moderately high dynamic range (HDR). Specifically, this hybrid mode simultaneously combines the linear HDR strength of the FDMA-mode fast Fourier transform (FFT) digital signal processing (DSP)-based spectrum analysis with the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) provided by the many simultaneous CAOS pixels' photodetection of the CDMA mode.

Visual augmented reality (AR) has the potential to improve the accuracy, efficiency and reproducibility of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS). AR Head-mounted displays (HMDs) further allow non-eye-shift target observation and egocentric view. Recently, a markerless tracking and registration (MTR) algorithm was proposed to avoid the artificial markers that are conventionally pinned into the target anatomy for tracking, as their use prolongs surgical workflow, introduces human-induced errors, and necessitates additional surgical invasion in patients.

Specifically, outlined are novel modes of software programmable CAOS imaging, which include the time division multiple access (TDMA) mode, the code division multiple access (CDMA) mode, the CDMA-TDMA mode, the frequency division multiple access (FDMA)-TDMA mode, the frequency modulation (FM)-CDMA-TDMA mode, FM-TDMA mode, and the FDMA-CDMA-TDMA mode. Engagement of FDMA and CDMA modes enables simultaneous multi-pixel improved signal-to-noise ratio photo detection, while use of TDMA prevents optical point detector saturation.

Deploying a silicon CMOS sensor and a silicon point detector within a digital micro-mirror device (DMD)-based spatially isolating hybrid camera design, this smart imager first engages the DMD starring mode with a controlled factor of 200 high optical attenuation of the scene irradiance to provide a classic unsaturated CMOS sensor-based image for target intelligence gathering. Next, this CMOS sensor provided image data is used to acquire a focused zone more robust un-attenuated true target image using the time-modulated CDMA-mode of the CAOS camera.
