Hough Transform

Audience: graduate

Tags: appliedalgorithm

An introduction to some interesting applied mathematics used in Computer Vision. An algorithm based on a Hough Transform allows features like straight lines or circles to be detected in images or video. This topic is typically taught at the end of a Bachelors or Masters degree.

Great explanation of a fascinating solution to a relevant problem, absolutely no complaints, very well done

This video has a clear goal on what it wants to show and it shows it well. The part with the discretization of an image and its knots was a little rushed because it took some time for me to figure out how one line became many and what a knot actually means in that case. I enjoyed the extension to circles and the Canny transform which showed different edge detection algorithms that built upon the Hough transform. Great video, and I think this is a useful resource for someone learning computer vision

Nice educational work, with a good balance of being precise and not being overwhelming with useless information. Not very entertaining though
