US12601565 - Electronic reduction of parallax errors in direct-view rifle scopes without ranging

An example rifle scope includes a plurality of light emitting devices for sending illuminations directed to a distal end of the rifle scope. A plurality of optical detectors detects reflected light received from the distal end of the rifle scope. Each of the optical detectors produces data regarding the reflected light each optical detector observed. A processor device receives the data on the reflected light from the optical detectors and adjusting a position of a field lens so an eyepoint projected in a target space of the rifle scope coincides with an optical axis of the rifle scope removing parallax errors due to misalignment.
