The targeted application area is light spots used as references for robotic navigation. Different algorithms for dynamic thresholding are explored in combination with component labeling and Center Of Gravity (COG) for highest possible precision versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). This method was developed with a low hardware cost in focus having only one convolution operation required for preprocessing of data.}, journal = {International Journal of Physical and Mathematical Sciences}, volume = {4}, number = {4}, year = {2010}, pages = {493 - 500}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15570}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/40}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 40, 2010}, }
