Abstract: A computer-implemented method for aligning a sensor to reference coordinate system includes initiating a plurality of threads, each thread executes simultaneously and independent of each other. A first thread parses data received from the sensor and stores the parsed data in a data buffer. A second thread computes an alignment transformation using the parsed data to determine alignment between the sensor and the reference coordinate system. The computing includes checking that the data buffer contains at least predetermined amount of data. If at least the predetermined amount of data exists, an intermediate result is computed using the parsed data in the data buffer; otherwise, the second thread waits for the first thread to add more data to the data buffer. The second thread outputs the intermediate result into the data buffer. A third thread outputs the alignment transformation, in response to completion of alignment computations.

The light-based component may receive the light through these openings so that the light is not absorbed or polarized before reaching the component.
