MIDTERM WED. OCT.21 October 6, 1998 1 Modified Hough Algorithm (More Efficient) • Note that for p-parameters a1,a2,…,ap containing 2 translation parameters that the accumulator array is now (p-2) dimensional. • Also note reduction in the number of pixels that are effectively visited: – Instead of examining all pixels as a possible ‘center’ for the shape we now only examine edge points as possible boundary points for the shape.
