Abstract

A laser projection system comprising a laser light and a human body detection module is disclosed. The laser light source emits a laser light. The human body detection module detects a reflective light of the laser light irradiated on an object. The human body detection module determines whether the object is a human according to a relationship between several reflectivity indexes of the reflective light. If the relationship corresponds to predefined situation, the human body detection module reduces a laser output intensity of the laser light.

Claims (18)

1. A laser projection system, comprising:

a laser light source emitting a laser light; and

a human body detection module detecting a reflective light of the laser light irradiated on an object, wherein the human body detection module determines whether the object is a human according to a relationship between a plurality of reflectivity indexes of the reflective light, if the relationship corresponds to a predefined situation, the human body detection module reduces a laser output intensity of the laser light.

2. The laser projection system according to claim 1 , wherein,

the laser light source emits a visible laser light and an invisible laser light; and

the human body detection module determines whether the object is a human according to a relationship between a reflectivity of the visible laser light and a reflectivity of the invisible laser light.

3. The laser projection system according to claim 2 , wherein,

the visible laser light comprises a red light, a blue light and a green light, and the invisible laser light comprises a near-infrared light; and

the human body detection module determines whether the object is a human according to a relationship between a reflectivity of the blue light and a reflectivity of the near-infrared light, and a relationship between a reflectivity of the green light and a reflectivity of the near-infrared light.

4. The laser projection system according to claim 1 , wherein,

the laser light source emits a red light, a blue light and a green light; and

the human body detection module determines whether the object is a human according to a relationship between a reflectivity of the blue light and a reflectivity of the red light, and a relationship between a reflectivity of the green light and a reflectivity of the red light.

5. The laser projection system according to claim 1 , wherein a projection range of the laser projection system is smaller than a detection range of the human body detection module.

6. The laser projection system according to claim 1 , wherein after the human body detection module determines that the object is a human and reduces the laser output intensity of the laser light, if no human object is detected by the human body detection module in a subsequent detection, the human body detection module increases the laser output intensity of the laser light.

7. The laser projection system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a distance detection module detecting respective distances between regions of a projection surface and the laser projection system for dynamically adjusting the laser output intensity region by region.

8. The laser projection system according to claim 7 , wherein the distance detection module obtains a distance information of the projection surface for establishing a distance map and further adjusting the output intensity of the laser light region by region according to the distance map.

9. The laser projection system according to claim 7 , wherein a projection range of the laser projection system is smaller than a detection range of the distance detection module.
