Obstacle shape determination by mobile robot sensor system using GP2Y0A (Sharp) type IR distance sensors by V. P. Andreev

“…As an indicator of the “noisiness” of the channel, it is proposed to use the number of sensor signal values that exceed the average signal value by 1σ, 2σ, 3σ, 4σ and 5σ. The use of standard methods for filtering abnormal values of a sensor signal leads to significant delays in a response of the MR control system. …”
