Introduction Dynamically Quantized (DO) spaces have been developed [O'Rourke] in response to the need for high-precision, high-dimensional Hough-like transforms. [Ballard; Sloan and Ballard) Their purpose is to cover a parameter space with a limited number of accumulators in such a way that fine precision is maintained where it is needed. O'Rourke's solution to this problem is to maintain a bin...
