 Line detection is one of the most basic algorithms in computer vision technology. It has variety of applications like pattern recognition,object comparison,Lane detection,SLAM... line detection is involved in the basic level in all of the algorithms mentioned above.  Line detection is one of the most basic algorithms in computer vision technology.

 The idea involved in this mechanism is that any point in a binary image could be part of some set of possible lines. Each line is parameterized by a slope 'a' and an intercept 'b' and then a point in the original image is transformed to a locus of a points in the (a,b) plane corresponding to all lines passing through that point. If we convert every non-zero pixel in the input image into such a set of points in the output image and sum over all such contributions,then lines that appear in the input image will appear as local maxima in the  output image. Since each point's contributions is being summed the (a.b) plane is called accumulator plane. This is pretty much the concept the involved in Standard Hough Transform. The idea involved in this mechanism is that any point in a binary image could be part of some set of possible lines.

-This method is a variation of the standard hough transform. It takes in the extent of the lines than just the orientation of the lines. The reason its called Probabilistic is that accumulates only a fraction of the points in the accumulator plane and not all of them.(source:Learning OpenCv).  +

 But one has to know ,how to make use of the lines extracted ,in the next two tutorials I have designed basic navigation algorithm based on probabilistic hough transform and standard hough transform.This shows the application of hough line detection. But one has to know ,how to make use of the lines extracted ,in the next two tutorials I have designed basic navigation algorithm based on probabilistic hough transform and standard hough transform.This shows the application of hough line detection.
