Common Expressions: HOUGH TRANSFORM

ExpressionsDefinition
Hough transformThe Hough transform is a feature extraction technique used in digital image processing. The classical transform identifies lines in the image, but it has been extended to identifying positions of arbitrary shapes. The transform universally used today was invented by Richard Duda and Peter Hart in 1972, who called it a "generalized Hough transform" after the related 1962 patent of Paul Hough. (references)
