Abstract

Line following robots are used in numerous application areas. The tracking of weak line is challenging, especially if SNR is high, so application of Track–Before–Detect algorithm is necessary. The Viterbi algorithm is assumed in this paper and the possibilities of optimization are considered. Two metric are applied in Monte Carlo tests—the direct metric and proposed boundary metric. The optimization of Viterbi algorithm is based on non single row movements of moving window.
