The present paper describes the experimentation in a controlled environment and a real environment using different photosensors, such as infrared light emitting diode (IRLED-as receiver), photodiode, light dependent resistor (LDR), and blue LED for the purpose of selecting those devices, which can be employed in adverse conditions, such as sunlight or artificial sources. The experiments that are described in this paper confirmed that the blue LED and phototransistor could be used as a photosensor of an Optical Scanning System (OSS), because they were less sensitive to sunlight radiation. Moreover, they are appropriate as reference sources that are selected for the experiment (blue LED flashlight and light bulb). The best experimental results that were obtained contained a digital filter that was applied to the output of the photosensor, which reduced the standard deviation for the best case for the phototransistor LED from 100.26 to 0.15. For the best case, using the blue LED, the standard deviation was reduced from 86.08 to 0.11. Using these types of devices the cost of the Optical Scanning System can be reduced and a considerable increase in resolution and accuracy.
