Abstract
A laser projector steers a pulsed laser beam to form a pattern of stationary dots on an object, the pulsed laser beam having a periodicity determined based at least in part on a maximum allowable spacing of the dots and on a maximum angular velocity at which the beam can be steered, wherein a pulse width of the laser beam and a pulse peak power of the laser beam are based at least in part on the determined periodicity and on laser safety requirements.
