Abstract

This paper describes a novel formulation of the Hough Transform technique to detect lines that can be approximated by polynomial curves between given end-points in bitmap images. The application domain is the analysis of the deformation of exible linear structures throughout a sequence of video frames. In many applications of this type it is possible to manually or semi-automatically identify two end points to the exible structure which then remains static or can be separately tracked throughout the video sequence. The example discussed in this study is the motion of belts between pulleys. The Hough Transform is used for the parameters of polynomial expressions based on combinations of simple parabolic and cubic curves. We demonstrate that these curves are rich enough to represent those that are typically found in the application domains considered. We present mathematical and algorithmic representations that enable intuitive and efficient computation of the Hough Transforms.
