Abstract:
A laserbeam light source is controlled to avoid light sensitive regions around the laserbeam light source. One or more laserlight-sensitive regions are identified based on images of an area around the laserbeam light source, and indications of positions corresponding to the laserlight-sensitive regions are generated. The laserbeam light source is controlled based on the indications of the positions. The laserbeam light source may be controlled to deflect a laserlight beam away from laserlight-sensitive regions, to reduce an intensity of a laserlight beam directed towards a laserlight-sensitive region, etc. Motion estimation may be used to generate the indications of positions corresponding to the laserlight-sensitive regions.
