Patent ID: 8599368

Claim:
A method of laser-based speed determination, the method comprising: determining, by a processing device via a digital scan of a field of view, a location of a target; directing, by the processing device via a laser-aiming device in communication with the processing device, a laser from a laser device to the determined location of the target; determining a speed of the target via light reflected from the target to the laser device; displaying an annotated field of view, the annotated field of view comprising the field of view and the determined speed of the target; wherein the target comprises an automobile; wherein, during at least a portion of each of the determining of a location, the directing, and the determining of a speed, the target and a laser-based speed-determination system comprising the processing device and the laser-aiming device are each independently in motion relative to a fixed point; and wherein the determining of a speed comprises detecting and considering ground speed of the laser-based speed-determination system.
