Hough Transform
The Hough Transform is a technique for detecting lines, circles, and other geometric shapes in digital images. Originally patented by Paul Hough in 1962 and popularized in computer vision by Duda and Hart in 1972, the Hough Transform converts edge points in image space to curves in a parameter space (accumulator space), where collinear or co-circular points cluster and become easily identifiable.
