Abstract

A new method for determination of the best hypothesis in Hough transform (HT)-based methods to detect ellipses is described. The method uses a new distinctiveness measurement to rank the hypotheses and determine a suitable candidate. The method is aimed at improving HT robustness to image noise and quantization effects. Experiments on images that demonstrate the method's applicability are also presented.
