      Table 1. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of linear structured light center extraction method

      AlgorithmAdvantageDisadvantage
      Center methodSimple operation and fast processing speedIt requires high image quality and low accuracy in complex shapes or noisy environments
      Extreme value methodIt is more applicable to the light stripe with Gaussian distribution of cross section pixelsIt is sensitive to noise and needs to be combined with other techniques for image preprocessing
      Gray gravity center methodGood real-time performance, high precision, image display more coherent and accurateThe light stripe cross section is required to have a complete Gaussian distribution
