Synthesizing safe sets for robotic systems operating in complex and dynamically changing environments is a challenging problem. Solving this problem can enable the construction of safety filters that guarantee safe control actions -- most notably by employing Control Barrier Functions (CBFs). This paper presents an algorithm for generating safe sets from perception data by leveraging elliptic partial differential equations, specifically Poisson's equation. Given a local occupancy map, we solve Poisson's equation subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, with a novel forcing function. Specifically, we design a smooth guidance vector field, which encodes gradient information required for safety. The result is a variational problem for which the unique minimizer -- a safety function -- characterizes the safe set. After establishing our theoretical result, we illustrate how safety functions can be used in CBF-based safety filtering. The real-time utility of our synthesis method is highlighted through hardware demonstrations on quadruped and humanoid robots navigating dynamically changing obstacle-filled environments.
