Hough Transform (Definition) Shape detection in a picture Shape detection in a picture Standard Method – simple equations (algebraic and parametric) Standard Method – simple equations (algebraic and parametric) Generalized Method – high order equations, complex shapes recognition Generalized Method – high order equations, complex shapes recognition

Hough Transform (Definition) The algorithm is based on axis transformation Straight Lines: Circles:

Line Recognition X Y φ r 0 π Given a radius and an angle we find the solution to the equation by choosing a point on the (X,Y) plain The equation:

Line Recognition (Detection) 1.Intersection on the polar plain gives the point on the ( x,y ) axis 2.An infinite line 90º left-right to this point, gives the detected line

Line Recognition (Example) The (x,y) points are the edges of the figure

Line Recognition (Under noise)

Circle Recognition r X Y Cx Cy 0 The equation:

Circle Recognition (Example)

Parallel Implementation Line Recognition Line Recognition –Send a picture to all the processors –Angle computing at the beginning of the program using a lookup table - sin() and cos() are calculated only once –All the angles are sorted in groups and every processor handles a different group 1111 2222 3333 4444 5555… nnnn n Processors
