Title: Eye-safe Laser Line Striper for Outside Use

Speaker: Christoph Mertz

Abstract:
Collision warning or autonomous driving in cluttered environments like urban 
areas require short-range high-resolution sensors. Range finders using laser 
triangulation fulfill these requirements but they face the additional challenge
 of operating in bright sunlight while remaining eye-safe. The laser line striper 
introduced in this talk achieves all these re-quirements without the need of 
expensive components. The sensor can be built with a variety of field-of-views.
