Abstract

Line following robots could be applied in numerous applications with artificial or natural line. The proposed algorithm uses tracklets and Cartesian-to-polar conversion together with Viterbi algorithm for the estimation of line. The line could be low contrast or deteriorated and Monte Carlo tests are applied for the analysis of algorithm properties. Two algorithms are presented and compared—Viterbi and proposed Tracklet-based Viterbi Track-Before-Detect algorithms. Both of them are evaluated and properties are presented. The proposed algorithm could be better for smoother lines if higher noise disturb images.
