Abstract :
This paper, describes a laser radar system that combines a laser range finder and pan-tilt equipment. This system transmits a laser beam in a specified direction and the point at which the beam is reflected is measured continuously. To measure the shape of the vehicles precisely we constructed an algorithm for estimating the centerline of a vehicle.
