Project Description
The object of this project is to design a device that can find and tracking a laser beam off a diffused target board. The lens design is an afocal three group. A bandpass filter removes ambient light, allowing only 532 nm laser light through the system. Luminous flux is collected through the optical lens system to a light sensor for measurement. The reflected light from the diffused surface propagates through the lens system into a bandpass filter which removes undesired frequencies and measured by an optical sensor placed above the camera. The camera input itself is processed through a machine learning algorithm which detects the position of the laser beam and tracks the movement between frames.
