In case of CV_HOUGH_GRADIENT, it is the higher threshold of the two passed to the Canny() edge detector (the lower one is twice smaller). param1: First method-specific parameter.If it is too large, some circles may be missed. If the parameter is too small, multiple neighbor circles may be falsely detected in addition to a true one. minDist: Minimum distance between the centers of the detected circles.If dp=2, the accumulator has half as big width and height. For example, if dp=1, the accumulator has the same resolution as the input image. dp: Inverse ratio of the accumulator resolution to the image resolution.Currently, the only implemented method is CV_HOUGH_GRADIENT, which is basically 21HT circle_storage: In C function this is a memory storage that will contain the output sequence of found circles.Each vector is encoded as a 3-element floating-point vector (x, y, radius). circles: Output vector of found circles.image: 8-bit, single-channel, grayscale input image.We will use now HoughCircles, which accepts the following parameters: The process goes about the same as for lines, with the exception that this time we will use a different function from the OpenCV library. It is very important that we actually use an edge only image as parameter for the Hough Transform, otherwise the algorithm won’t work as intended. # Draw lines on the image for line in lines:Ĭv2. pi / 180, max_slider, minLineLength = 10, maxLineGap = 250) # Find the edges in the image using canny detector Too complicated? it’s easier with an example: maxLineGap: Maximum allowed gap between points on the same line to link them.Line segments shorter than that are rejected. Only those lines are returned that get enough votes threshold: Accumulator threshold parameter.theta: Angle resolution of the accumulator in radians.rho: Distance resolution of the accumulator in pixels.Each line is represented by a 4-element vector (x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2), where (x_1,y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are the ending points of each detected line segment. The image may be modified by the function. image: 8-bit, single-channel binary source image.The function expects the following parameters: In OpenCV, line detection using Hough Transform is implemented in the functions HoughLines and HoughLinesP (Probabilistic Hough Transform). However we will take a look at an implementation of this algorithm, which is part of the OpenCV The algorithm for making the transformation happen and subsequently finding the intersecting curves is little bit complicated, and thus out of the scope of this post. In our line example, a Hough transform will be responsible for processing the dots on the image and calculating the values in Hough space. A “simple” shape will be only represented by a few parameters, for example a line can be represented by its slope and intercept, or a circle which can be represented by x, y and radius. The “simple” characteristic is derived by the shape representation in terms of parameters. Hough transform is a feature extraction method for detecting simple shapes such as circles, lines, etc in an image. One very important observation though, is what happens when we take multiple points around a line, and we transform into our Hough space.Ī single dot on image space translates to a curve on Hough space, with the particularity that points among a line on image space will be represented by multiple curves with a single touchpoint.Īnd this will be our target, finding the points where a group of curves intersects. theta: describes the angle away from horizontal.rho: describes the distance of the line from the origin.So we need a better way parametrization, polar coordinates (rho and theta). When we work with images, we can imagine the image being a 2d matrix over some x and y coordinates, under which a line could be described as y = mx + bīut in parameter space, which we will call Hough space, I can represent that same line as m vs b instead, so the characterization of a line on image space, will be a single point at the position m-b in Hough space.īut we have a problem though, with y = mx + b, we cannot represent a vertical line, as the slope is infinite. What is Hough space?īefore we start applying Hough transform to images, we need to understand what a Hough space is, and we will learn that in the way of an example.
