A clutter filter configuration tool for a safety laser scanner. The clutter filter configuration tool may first operate the safety laser scanner in an environment to learn the environmental clutter level and present the same to a user. Subsequent to this 'teach-in' phase, the configuration tool may provide a clutter filter selection process which presents the environmental clutter level to the user and allows the user to select a suitable configuration for a clutter filter. The configuration tool may also provide a clutter filter simulation process wherein the clutter filter chosen by the user is verified and a test is performed using the selected clutter filter. The results may be reported on a visualized graph. The configuration tool may also determine a real area to be monitored utilizing a floor projection area and an orientation of the laser scanner.

Clutter filter configuration for safety laser scanner

A background suppression device includes emitting means emitting a light beam emitted in a set direction and optoelectronic receiving means of a light beam reflected by an object providing a first and a second signal, and processing means which, in the detecting condition of the device, receives the first and second signal and provides an output information signal, in function of the first and second signal, indicating the presence or the absence of the object within an interval of set distances. The processing means stores, in a calibrating condition, the first and second signal and provides the output information signal in function of the first and/or of the second signal in the detecting condition and of the first and/or second signal in the calibrating condition. In the calibrating condition the object is absent and accordingly the first and second signal in the calibrating condition store the background.
