| Title: |
Stage Mapping and Detection Using Infrared Light |
| Abstract: |
A system for mapping a stage includes a lighting fixture, a scanner, and a controller. The lighting fixture includes a visible light source and an infrared light source. The lighting fixture at least partially illuminates the stage with structured infrared light. The scanner detects the structured infrared light on the stage. The controller is connected to the lighting fixture and the scanner. The controller turns on the visible light source in a visible light mode and turns on the infrared light source in an infrared light mode. The infrared light source illuminates at least a portion of the stage with the structured infrared light. The controller also directs the scanner to scan the structured infrared light on the portion of the stage, receives signals from the scanner as scan data, and translates the scan data into three-dimensional location data. |
