Abstract
In a method and system for detecting a position of a sheet of light in an image, two parameters are used, namely the width of the widest peak to be detected and the intensity difference of the least-contrasted peak to be detected. From these two parameters, a size S, a distance D, and a threshold T are determined. A region of interest (ROI) is determined based on the intensity profile associated with a line of pixels of the image, distance D and threshold T. A derivative filter of size S is applied to the intensity profile to produce a slope of the intensity profile. In the determined ROI, one or more zero-crossings in the slope of the intensity profile are detected. From the detected zero-crossings, a zero-crossing is selected and the position of the selected zero-crossing is returned as the detected position of the sheet of light for the line of pixels.
