Abstract
Detecting lines in a digital image is a crucial step in many applications, such as visual navigation, feature recognition. In this paper, an algorithm which is based on part Hough transform is proposed for extracting straight lines from building image. Firstly, edges are detected based on Canny detector. Secondly, An algorithm that follows image boundary categorizes edges. Thirdly, Hough transformation extracts straight lines to each classification of image. Experiment results shows that the proposed algorithm is better than Hough transform. It can detect lines correctly in building images with high accuracy, low false detection and low missing detection.
