Claim 14:
15. A method for measuring cross-movement for medium-profiling purposes, comprising:
receiving, over time and with a single physical photodiode receiver representing a single pixel and subdivided into a plurality of distinct sub-pixel detection portions that each simulate a separate physical photodetector, a plurality of scintillation patterns, wherein each scintillation pattern is created by eddies in a medium diffracting and refracting electromagnetic radiation traveling through the medium;
for each sub-pixel detection portion, converting a received particular scintillation pattern into a single data point measuring cumulative radiation intensity;
comparing, as compared cumulative radiation intensities, the cumulative radiation intensity for each received scintillation pattern of the plurality of scintillation patterns; and
calculating, as a calculated cumulative weighted average cross-movement within the medium, a cumulative weighted average cross-movement within the medium between the receiver and a target using the compared cumulative radiation intensities.
