Patent ID: 8655619

Claim:
A method comprising accessing acceleration information associated with an optical system, the acceleration information including a plurality of acceleration values generated by an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the optical system; identifying a maximum acceleration value, the maximum acceleration value being the acceleration value of the plurality of acceleration values having the greatest absolute value; identifying one or more adjacent acceleration values, the one or more adjacent acceleration values being the one or more acceleration values of the plurality of acceleration values that are adjacent m time to the maximum acceleration value; identifying a nearest adjacent acceleration value, the nearest adjacent acceleration value being the acceleration value of the one or more adjacent acceleration value having the value nearest the maximum acceleration value; determining, by one or more processors, a corrected peak acceleration for the optical system, the corrected peak acceleration being the sum of: a first value corresponding to an average of the maximum acceleration value and the nearest adjacent acceleration value; and a second value corresponding to the product of a correction value and the difference between the maximum acceleration value and the nearest adjacent acceleration value; and determining whether the corrected acceleration value exceeds a predefined threshold acceleration value for the optical system.
