Digital Image Processing • R. C. Gonzalez & R.E. Woods, Digital Image Processing, Addison-Wesley, 1993 : “A digital image is an image f(x,y) that has been discretized both in spatial coordinates and brightness” • f(x,y) is a 2D intensity function where x and y are spatial coordinates and the value of f at any point (x,y) is proportional to the brightness of the image at the point H. Kälviäinen, IPCV 2002, July 22 - August 2, 2002, Koblenz, Germany
Digital Image Processing • A digital image consists of pixels (also called image elements, picture elements) • For example: an image of a 256 x 256 array with 256 gray-levels (8 bits: 0 black, 255 white) • Binary images: only two values • Gray-level images: e.g. 256 values • Color images: three color components (e.g. RGB) • Spectral images: several components H. Kälviäinen, IPCV 2002, July 22 - August 2, 2002, Koblenz, Germany
Pattern Recognition and Machine Vision • A digital image is just a set of pixels ? • Pattern recognition = measurements and observations from natural scenes and their automatic analysis and recognition • Computer vision = image analysis using pattern recognition techniques • Machine vision = application oriented image analysis H.

Hough Transform • A method for global feature extraction: • y = a x + b => b = -x a + y. • For each pixel (x,y) compute a curve b = -x a + b into the parameter space. • Alternatively the normal presentation of a line: • Hough Transform detects sets of pixels which represent geometric primitives in a binary image. • Lines, circles, ellipses, arbitrary shapes, etc. • Tolerant to noise and distortions in an image, but traditional versions suffer from problems with time and space complexities. • New variants: probabilistic and deterministic Hough Transforms. H. Kälviäinen, IPCV 2002, July 22 - August 2, 2002, Koblenz, Germany
The Kernel of the Hough Transform • Create the set D of all edge points in a binary picture. • Transform each point in the set D into a parameterized curve in the parameter space. • Increment the cells in the parameter space determined by theparametric curve. • Detect local maxima in the accumulator array. Each local maximum may correspond to a parametric curve in the image space. • Extract the curve segments using the knowledge of the maximum positions. H. Kälviäinen, IPCV 2002, July 22 - August 2, 2002, Koblenz, Germany
Randomized Hough Transform (RHT) • Developed in Lappeenranta University • of Technology (LUT), • FINLAND. • Xu, L., Oja, E., Kultanen, P, ”A New Curve Detection Method: Randomized Hough Transform (RHT), Pattern Recognition Letters, vol. 11, no. 5., 1990, pp. 331-338.

The Kernel of the Randomized Hough Transform (RHT) • Create the set D of all edge points in a binary edge picture. • Select a point pair (d_i, d_j) randomly from the set D. • If the points do not satisfy the predefined distance limits, go to Step2; otherwise continue to Step4. • Solve the parameter space point (a, b) using the curve equation with the points (d_i, d_j). • Accumulate the cell A(a, b) in the accumulator space. • If the A(a, b) is equal to the threshold t, the parameters a and bdescribe the parameters of the detected curve; otherwise continue to Step 2. H. Kälviäinen, IPCV 2002, July 22 - August 2, 2002, Koblenz, Germany
