 ProbabilisticHoughLine
 detect lines segments using Probabilistic Hough Transform

 Calling Sequence ProbabilisticHoughLine(img, rho, theta, threshold, lineLength, lineGap)

Parameters

 img - Image rho - algebraic , radial increment theta - algebraic , angular increment in radian threshold - posint , minimum number of points required to detect a line lineLength - posint , minimum length of the line lineGap - posint , maximum length of the gap between lines

Description

 • The ProbabilisticHoughLine command detects line segments in img, and returns the detected line segments as an $m$ by $4$ Array, lines. Each line segment corresponds to a row of lines: ${\mathrm{lines}}_{i}=\left[{\left({x}_{i}\right)}_{1},{\left({y}_{i}\right)}_{1},{\left({x}_{i}\right)}_{2},{\left({y}_{i}\right)}_{2}\right]$, where $\left[{\left({x}_{i}\right)}_{1},{\left({y}_{i}\right)}_{1}\right]$ and $\left[{\left({x}_{i}\right)}_{2},{\left({y}_{i}\right)}_{2}\right]$ are the two end points of the ith line segment.
 • This command is implemented by a call to the Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) library; in particular, its ippiHoughProbLine_8u32f_C1R command. For more details, see its documentation.
 • This command interprets integer coordinate values to represent the corners of pixels, like the commands in the ImageTools[Draw] package do. It always returns coordinates for the centers of pixels, so the coordinates returned are always half integers.
 • img should be a binary image, so calling EdgeDetect and Threshold are usually necessary before calling ProbabilisticHoughLine.
