Abstract
Laser spot detection is an important problem in optical measurement. The precision and speed of the detection algorithm influence the optical measurement system directly. The traditional algorithms such as Hough Transform and Gravity model are unsatisfactory in complex conditions. The laser spot detection algorithm referred in this paper is based on the quaternion discrete cosine transform and moment and a method is adopted to approximate the edge of the laser spot. Not only the center and edge can be detected simultaneously but also the robustness of noise is better than others. The algorithm is suitable for the real-time optical measurement.
