Abstract

A non-contact identification and measurement method for identifying moving three-dimensional objects within an identification area, comprising the steps of detecting the presence of a moving object by scanning said identification area with a first eye-safe laser-based range detector system; discriminating between an object safe to be identified and an object not to be identified; for an object safe to be identified, activating a second laser-camera system and determining the speed and position of said object with said second laser-camera system; when said object safe to be identified reaches a position located in an active measurement area within said identification area, activating a third laser-camera system to acquire range data of said object.
