Abstract :
In this paper a method for optical track detection based on fuzzy decision-making is introduced. The method is robust to nonhomogeneous lighting conditions, changing background pattern, flash lights and other spurious disturbances, and was designed for real time implementation as part of the guidance system of an autonomous mobile robot
