Detailed Documentation

This is a MATLAB program for straight line extraction using Hough transform with excellent usability. The current implementation detects the longest line in images by identifying the global maximum in the Hough accumulator matrix. Future enhancements will focus on extracting lines corresponding to local peak points in the accumulator matrix, enabling detection of multiple line segments with varying lengths and orientations. The algorithm employs standard Hough transform methodology with parameter space quantization for line detection. Additional planned features include line refinement capabilities for precise edge alignment and enhanced visualization tools for result interpretation. These improvements will provide greater flexibility in line detection tasks and offer more comprehensive analytical capabilities. We believe this tool will significantly streamline your image processing workflows and hope you find it valuable for your projects.
