Abstract
This paper explores the potential of optical-based systems, specifically pseudo-non-diffractive beams, as an alternative for alignment. The study focuses on structured laser beams and hollow structured laser beams, which exhibit lower divergence and enhanced detection capabilities. The research objective is to analyze and compare centroiding algorithms in terms of accuracy and robustness to noise. The study compares the gamma-corrected and threshold-corrected center of gravity and correlation template matching. It also introduces a polarization-based algorithm.
