[SciPy-user] hough transform again

[Kfir Breger]

   I am working on a voxel coloring implementation with scipy and  
have used (in the beginning) hough transformation to detect lines
the algroithm i used is quite simple
1. get the PIL library, which is quite good imo
2. use the build in filter function for edge detection  
imagename.filter(ImageFilter.FIND_EDGES)
3. make a scipy array from the image
4. to eliminate noise do a closing operation on the edge image
5. set a threshold on edge value (i.e pixel value > t is a point on  
the edge). I used a double threshold whith 2 runs
6. for each of the pixels found in 6 calculate the p value found for  
a discreat number of tetas (i used 360 values between 0 and pi)
	as in x cos tet + y sin tet = p where x,y and tet are know. and  
store for each pair of tet and p how often they come out
7. set a threshhold for the value to determine if its a real line or  
not ( i u sed max value found /2) and all p and tetas tuple with
	a total value bigger then this are your lines.

I eventually dropped this in favour of radon transform as the results  
are better imo.
