Laser Target Tracking

A collision avoidance system is designed by expertise to reduce the severity
of an accident especially in cars. Nowadays, as reported by World Health
Organization (WHO), about 1.25 million people die every year due to road
traffic crashes. If there are no corrective steps taken, the number is expected
to increase. Most of the collision avoidance system is utilizing sensors such
as radar, camera and laser range finder.
For this project, a single laser range finder (LRF) and a single embedded
platform, called Raspberry Pi (also known as Raspi) are used for the project
development. The function of LRF sensor is to determine the distance
between any objects with the sensor as the reference point based on the data
obtained from it. Meanwhile, the Raspi platform will work as a tool to do
the computational task when the LRF sends the data obtained in real-time
and display the results to the user
