Laser safety approach in driver assistance system

In this paper we shall present the Active Gated Imaging System (AGIS) in relation to the automotive field. AGIS is based on a fast gated camera and Illuminator, synchronized in the time domain to record radar like images. The illuminator presented in this paper is based on Near Infra-Red (NIR) semiconductor laser technology. In recent years we have learned the system parameters which are most beneficial to night time driving in terms of; field of view, illumination profile, resolution and processing power. We shall present our laser safety approach of a Driver Assistance System (DAS) named Bright Eye, which makes use of the AGIS technology in the automotive field.In this paper we shall present the Active Gated Imaging System (AGIS) in relation to the automotive field.
