A Highly Adaptable Concept For Visual Inspection - Sablatnig (1997)   (Correct)

....algorithms can be used as well. Circle detection To detect circles and circular arcs in the intensity image, we use the Hough transformation [KIE92,YUE90] The Hough method [HOU62] was extended to circle detection by Duda and Hart [DUD75] and extended by Ballard and Brown using the gradients [BAL81]. The detection process has the following steps: 1. Edge detection: The derivatives in the x and y direction are computed and form the gradient; different gradient operators may be used; 2. Hough transform: Circle centers are clusters in the accumulator space; 3. Peak enhancement: The ....

Automatic Image Segmentation and Classification Using On-line.. - Lee, Street (2000)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....invariance is achieved through the use of an object centered coordinate system. Shapes are normalized for size, orientation and re ection during the algorithm, as described in Section 3.3. This representation, motivated by its ease of use template matching using a generalized Hough transform (GHT) [1], allows the matching of a wide variety of topologically simple shapes. 3. Description of the system Figure 2 shows a owchart of the proposed system. The system consists of four parts: detecting, segmenting, clustering and classifying. While these four parts are performed repeatedly, the system ....

....created. The initial templates are created automatically but could easily be drawn by the user. In the second application, we assume no knowledge of the shapes, so the initial templates are created by the user outlining the rst few objects with a mouse. 3.2. Detecting and Segmenting Objects GHT [1] is a typical algorithm for detecting objects in images. Generally, an array of points, of the same size as the input image, comprises the 2D accumulator, in which each point has a value specifying the possibility that the reference point of an object shape to be detected is located at the point. ....

A Qualitative Profile-based Approach to Edge Detection - Yen   (Correct)

....(p, q) in the parameter space, the number of its occurrences is the number of points that are on the line y = px q. Therefore, the higher the number, the more likely this straight line is an edge. Other objects used are circles and ellipses. Arbitrary shapes can be used in Hough transform as well[5], though this generalized Hough transform is used for matching predefined shapes rather than edge detection. In general, Hough transform is used in linking straight lines and circles only. The Hough transform has some advantages such as: 1. It can handle occlusion e#ectively. 2. It is relatively ....

Robust Matching by Dynamic Space Warping for Accurate Face.. - Sahbi, Boujemaa (2001)   (Correct)

....present in the scenes. This is due to influences such as the pose, lighting and occlusion. The main idea here is to extract invariant features with respect to these effects, and to compute a similarity between the descriptor derived from the model and the target image features. Many authors ([2], 3]and [4] tackled the problem using simple and compact features like edges which are detectable under a wide variety of pose and lighting conditions. But the main problem in this representation is the difficulty in determining which feature in an image corresponds to each feature on an ....

....the discretization could become a source of inaccuracies in the final outcome. The toroids are generated by incrementing the angles t and , whereas the search space is divided along the X, Y, and Z axes. The error analysis of such generalized of Hough transform techniques could be found in [17]. It is of practical concern to address the possibility that the XYZ volume to be covered by the accumulators may be too large. This could require more computational effort to solve the original problem than the previously known methods to compute the camera position. However, this potential ....

Fuzzy Hough Transform and an MLP with Fuzzy Input/Output for.. - Sural (1999)   (Correct)

....necessary to incorporate fuzzy feature extraction concepts in a neural network. Our approach combines the robustness of feature extraction with the speed of operation of neural networks in a framework of fuzzy systems. Hough transform is a method for the extraction of lines and curves from images [1,22]. Fuzzy probabilistic concepts have been introduced by some authors to generalize the basic Hough transform technique [3] A fuzzy Hough transform method has been presented in [6] where an image point is treated as a fuzzy point. We propose a Hough transform technique in which a number of fuzzy ....

An Efficient Randomized Algorithm for Detecting Circles - Chen, Chung (2001)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....methods for detecting circles have been developed. One type of method decomposes the parameter space into many parameter spaces with lower dimension [22] Another type of method uses the gradient information of each edge pixel to reduce the computing time or the requirement of the accumulator [1, 4, 14, 22]. A third type of method uses the geometry property in the circle to improve the performance [9, 10] However, these three types of methods still need some amount of computing time and at least a 2 D accumulator array. Some other recent HT based variants for detecting circles can be found in [12, ....

Characterization of Self-Similar Multifractals with Wavelet.. - Hwang, Mallat (1994)   (4 citations)  (Correct)

....the singular support. We verify this result for fractional Brownian motions. Most multifractals encountered in physics or image processing are not exactly self similar. The deviations from selfsimilarity can be interpreted as a renormalization noise. Voting procedures such as the Hough transform [5], have been particularly successful to recover parameterized curves from noisy data. We introduce such a voting scheme to estimate the renormalization parameters of the wavelet transform maxima curves. Section 4 gives numerical results for a Cantor measure, a dyadique multifractal function, and a ....

....renormalization maps. In most cases, multifractals are approximatively self similar, which means that we must take into account renormalization errors. Many algorithms that estimate the parameters of noisy curves in an image plane are voting procedures in the corresponding parameter space [5]. We describe such a voting algorithm that can recovers non exact renormalization properties in multifractals by using the information provided by all the wavelet transform maxima. Ane renormalizations are characterized by the three parameters (p; l; r) of equation (7) We introduce a voting ....

We use Hough techniques in which each voting element in the image supplies one vote in the parameter space, either by incorporating edge direction data [3, 22], by using many to one transformations, or by Gerig s method [9] The goal we specify for the Probabilistic Hough Transform is to obtain the same maximum as if the full Hough Transform had been accumulated and analyzed. Possible extensions of the adaptive stopping rules suggested in this paper ....
