Abstract: A scanning projector includes one or more scanning mirrors that reflect a light beam to create an image. The beam is created by multiple laser light sources, at least two of which create light at substantially the same color. The multiple laser light sources are used alternately to illuminate successive pixels, lines, and/or frames. Speckle reduction is achieved because of spatial overlap of the light beams produced by the multiple laser light sources.

The systems can identify a location of a patient support surface based on the three dimensional information. The systems can set a two dimensional planar threshold based on the patient support surface.

Exceeding the threshold can be indicative of a high risk of a patient fall. An alert can be generated based on the threshold being exceeded. The systems can repeat the identification of the patient support surface location and the setting of the threshold to account for changes in the patient area.
