Abstract

This paper is concerned with the naive and, more generally, α-thick digital line recognition problem. Previous incremental algorithms deal with the 8-connected case [DR95] or with sophisticated machinery coming from Linear Programming [Buz03]. We present the first elementary method [Buz02] that works with any set of points (not necessarily 8-connected) and we propose a linear time algorithm under some restrictions (which were implicitly assumed in [DR95]). This paper deals with implementation details giving pseudo-code of our method. We insist on linking the recognition problem to the intrinsic properties of convex hulls.
