In frontier-based exploration, robots explore by repeatedly computing (and moving towards) \emph{frontiers}, the segments which separate the known regions from those unknown. However, most frontier detection algorithms process the entire map data. This can be a time consuming process which slows down the exploration. In this paper, we present two novel frontier detection algorithms: \emph{WFD}, a graph search based algorithm and \FFD, which is based on processing only the new laser readings data. In contrast to state-of-the-art methods, both algorithms do not process the entire map data. We implemented both algorithms and showed that both are faster than a state-of-the-art frontier detector implementation (by several orders of magnitude). }, wwwnote = {}, }
