Counting lines
This is a novel method for Machine Vision
developed in order to identify and count lines existing in digital
images. The counting process is done by using a CCD camera using
just a few milliseconds.
The method is able to detect lines
and track them finding complete trajectories from the beginning to the
end.
The algorithm works by finding and analyzing
relations inside and outside the lines. In this way, it is
able to find corners, places where lines are crossing, straight
sections, curves, etc. After identifying these special places, the
algorithm solve continuities and properly define complete trajectories.
Figure 1, shows some results after applying this method.
Original Images are shown to the left and recognized lines are shown to
the right. In order to show answers, 9 colors were defined and lines are shown
using all these colors in order. After the last color is reached,
the first color is used again, then the second, and so on.
Figure 1. Results
obtained after using this method. Lines are defined using
different colors.
