Abstract:

In this paper, we present an algorithm for extracting straight lines from a greylevel image. The algorithm is region-based, where each region is the underlying structure for one line, but only pixels in the region with highest gradient magnitude contribute to the line. The algorithm is optimized for both quality and speed, and time was optimized for runs on the low-level part of the heterogeneous Image Understanding Architecture (IUA), where it operates in nearly frame rate. Line output of the algorithm was input to a performance evaluation algorithm, whose results, together with timing experiments, show that the algorithm has a high performance/quality ratio as compared with two other algorithms.
