Abstract

A line-detection system computes, using a local memory, a result of a partial conversion of image-space pixel data from image space to Hough space. The result is analyzed for edges corresponding to a line present in the partial conversion. The line is compared against other lines detected in previously computed partial results to identify a longest line in the image.
