Re: Contribution: circles and hough transform
Hi, FYI, I plan to work on the detection of ellipses quite soon. Stefan indicated to me a reference which seems fairly simple to implement. Cheers, François.
Hi François, I am trying out the ellipse hough transform as described in the following link: http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/auto_examples/plot_circular_elliptical_houg... The ellipse detection in the example takes about 15 seconds to give a result. 1. Is it possible to get the time taken for ellipse detection to under a second? 2. Are there any suggestions for improving the execution time? Thanks, Austin On Thursday, 7 March 2013 02:27:44 UTC+5:30, François wrote:

It's coded in cython, so it's pretty optimized and Johannes helped me on that. I think it's pretty well optimized. You are trying to find a point is a space with 5 dimensions, so it takes times. The time directly depends on the number of (let's say black) points in your binary image. If you have a lot of points, you may try to reduce the quantity. I never tried so far, but it probably works if you take randomly a fraction of all your points. The peak in the 5D space will be smaller and perhaps wider, but depending on the fraction, you may find a compromise.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will give a shot at random fraction of all points but I have a feeling that it's not going to get it under one second. It makes sense why it's taking so much time. Regards, Austin On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 2:58 AM, François Boulogne <fboulogne@sciunto.org> wrote:
