Hough transform: History, Variations and extensions & Theory

The Hough transform (/hʌf/) is a feature extraction technique used in image analysis, computer vision, pattern recognition, and digital image processing. The purpose of the technique is to find imperfect instances of objects within a certain class of shapes by a voting procedure. This voting procedure is carried out in a parameter space, from which…
