Abstract

The Hough transform is a well-known and popular algorithm for detecting lines in raster images.  The standard Hough transform is rather slow to be usable in real-time, so different accelerated and approximated algorithms exist.
This paper proposes a modified accumulation scheme for the Hough transform, using a new parameterization of lines "PClines". This algorithm is suitable for computer systems with a small but fast read-write memory -- such as today's graphics processors. The algorithm requires no floating-point computations or goniometric functions. This makes it suitable for special and low-power processors and special-purpose chips. The proposed algorithm is evaluated both on synthetic binary images and on complex real-world photos of high resolutions.  The results show that by using today's commodity graphics chips, the Hough transform can be computed at interactive frame rates, even with a high resolution of the Hough space and with the Hough transform fully computed.
