Robust Curve Detection Using a Radon Transform in Orientation Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel approach to parameterised curve detection. The method is based on the generalised Radon transform, which is traditionally applied to a 2D edge/line map. The novelty of our method is the mapping of the original 2D image to a 3D orientation space, which then forms the input for the Radon transform. The orientation space representation can represent multiple intersecting structures and contains local orientation information. We demonstrate our approach on a problem in geology and show that we can detect curves in a heterogeneous and noisy background.

Robust Curve Detection using a Radon Transform in Orientation Space Applied to Fracture Detection in Borehole Images
We present a novel approach to parameterised curve detection. The method is based on the generalised Radon transform, which is traditionally applied to a 2D edge/line map. The novelty of our method is the mapping of the original 2D image to a 3D orientation space, which then forms the input for the Radon transform. The orientation space representation offers important advantages. It can represe...
متن کاملDetection of Blood Vessels in Color Fundus Images using a Local Radon Transform
Introduction: This paper addresses a method for automatic detection of blood vessels in color fundus images which utilizes two main tools: image partitioning and local Radon transform. Material and Methods: The input images are firstly divided into overlapping windows and then the Radon transform is applied to each. The maximum of the Radon transform in each window corresponds to the probable a...
متن کاملRobust Curvature Estimation by Finding Optimal Circular Segments in Orientation Space
We have developed a new, robust, curvature estimator. It is based on ”fitting” circular segments to a curve using a generalised Radon transform. The key step in the approach is that the fitting operation is not done in the original image, but in a transformed version, called Orientation Space. The original curve is transformed into another curve in Orientation Space. Apart from the original spa...
متن کاملParallel Processing of One-Sided Radon Transform for the Realtime Detection of Position and Orientation of Planar Motion Objects
In this article, we will develop parallel processing of one-sided Radon transform for the detection of the position and the orientation of a planar motion object. Detection of planar motion based on one-sided Radon transform can be applied to arbitrary shapes and is robust against overlapping of objects but it requires much computation time. Thus, we will construct a parallel computation of one...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Microaneurysms in Color Fundus Images using a Local Radon Transform Method
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious and most frequent eye diseases in the world and the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Following 15 years of diabetes, about 2% of the diabetic patients are blind and 10% suffer from vision impairment due to DR complications. This paper addresses the automatic detection of microaneurysms (MA...
