Laser projection system with video overlay

Abstract

A method of identifying accurate location of a component onto a workpiece is disclosed. A laser projector projects laser images relative to the workpiece. An imaging device generates a video image and a display device displays the video image from a view of the imaging device. The display device generates a video image from a view of the workpiece by the imaging device. The laser projector projects a plurality of laser images relative to the workpiece and the display device registers the view of the imaging device relative to the workpiece from the plurality of laser images. The display device generates a virtual image of the component upon the video image of workpiece. The virtual image of the component disposed in a geometrically accurate location upon the video image of the workpiece.
