A comparative analysis of algorithms for laser line center determination and recognition has been conducted. The issues in this area are described, outlining the principles, pros, and cons of each method. Additionally, the possibilities of their application using programming code are demonstrated. Algorithm testing was performed using Python language tools and the OpenCV library. It is shown that the quality of the result in the extremum method significantly depends on the quality of the selected parameters for the Butterworth filter. In contrast, the gray gravity method substantially relies on the accuracy of determining the laser incidence angle. The computational efficiency and accuracy for each algorithm are also analyzed.
