Abstract

This paper provides a comparative analysis of five algorithms for determining the peak position in a laser ranging system to sub-pixel accuracy. The exercise was carried out in order to determine the most suitable method in terms of accuracy and robustness, for determining the location of the peak of an observed laser stripe to sub-pixel resolution.
