New optical tracking methods for robot cars

Attila Fazekas

In this paper new methods are proposed for intelligent optical tracking of robot cars, the important tools of CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing), which can be an alternative of former tracking methods. These methods, are partly based on the new adaptation of some basic picture processing methods known in the literature (Hough transformation, Walsh transformation), and the method described last is based on a special 2+1D thinning algorithm.
