  • Clutter filter configuration for safety laser scanner
    Patent number: 10061021
    Abstract: A clutter filter configuration tool for a safety laser scanner. The clutter filter configuration tool may first operate the safety laser scanner in an environment to learn the environmental clutter level and present the same to a user. Subsequent to this “teach-in” phase, the configuration tool may provide a clutter filter selection process which presents the environmental clutter level to the user and allows the user to select a suitable configuration for a clutter filter. The configuration tool may also provide a clutter filter simulation process wherein the clutter filter chosen by the user is verified and a test is performed using the selected clutter filter. The results may be reported on a visualized graph. The configuration tool may also determine a real area to be monitored utilizing a floor projection area and an orientation of the laser scanner.

  • Novel Applications of a Plurality of Safety Laser Scanners Combined with a Camera or Mobile Computer
    Publication number: 20180144638
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention are implemented with a mobile camera and safety laser scanner. A mobile computer can be used to show a visible infrared beam on the display of the mobile computer. The mobile computer can function as a safety tool to identify regions or locations where a laser beam might penetrate. The mobile computer can determine if the laser beam has penetrated a safety region or zone. Sensors can be used to determine when a laser beam may become dangerously close to an operator, especially with the use of automated guided vehicle that is moving around and has a scanning laser.
