Paper Abstract
This paper describes a fully automated system to align an infra-red laser beam with a small retro-reflector over a wide
range of distances. The component development and test were especially used for an open-path spectrometer gas
detection system. Using blob detection under OpenCV library, an automatic alignment algorithm was designed to
achieve fast and accurate target detection in a complex background environment. Test results are presented to show that
the proposed algorithm has been successfully applied to various target distances and environment conditions.
