Optical locating attempts to identify the location of information within a visual field. This could be seeking a color, or a shape, or just the centroid of light intensity. This page discusses the use of a duo-lateral photodiode to sense the centroid of light within its field of view. The documented method uses a passive [[Sensing optical tape|retro-reflective]] target and [[Optics|optics]].
