  • Edge detection using Hough transformation
    Patent number: 7085432
    Abstract: A method identifies edges of an object in an image by analyzing an accumulator array produced via a Hough transformation of the image. The method includes the step of identifying a first cell in a first row of the array associated with a first edge of the object. The first is then searched for a second cell in the array associated with a second edge of the object, the second edge being parallel to the first edge. A second row shifted ninety degrees from the first row is then searched for a third cell in the array associated with a third edge of the object, the third edge being perpendicular to the first edge. The second row is then searched for a fourth cell in the array associated with a fourth edge in the image, the fourth edge being parallel to the third edge.
