Abstract

Straight line detection is a basic technique in image processing and pattern recognition. It has been investigated from different aspects, but is still very challenging in practical applications. In this paper, based on the finite mixture model and under the EM framework, we maximize the Q-function by differentiation and construct a fixed-point EM algorithm for straight line detection. It is demonstrated by the experiments that this proposed algorithm can effectively detect the straight lines from a digital image or dataset.
