摘要：
A new noncontact optical preview sensing technique, developed at Georgia Tech, for possible application to a robotic seam tracking system, is presented in this paper. This technique uses a structured laser illumination source: a SELFOC lens array (SLA) coupled to a fiberoptic and a phototransistor (photodetector) array. The hardware and software components and the experimental results are described in this paper.
