Abstract

The Circular Hough Transform (CHT) is probably the most widely used technique for detecting circular shapes within an image. This paper presents a novel variation of CHT which we call the Circular Degree Hough Transform (CDHT). The CDHT showed better performance than CHT for a number of experiments (eye localization, crater detection, etc.) included in this document. The improvement is mainly achieved by considering the orientation of the edges detected.
