Abstract

A parallel algorithm for Hough transform on a linear array with reconfigurable pipeline bus system (LARPBS) is presented. Suppose the number of θ-values to be considered is m, for an image with n × n pixels, the algorithm can complete Hough transform in O(1) time using mn2 processors and achieve optimal speed and efficiency. We also illustrate how to partition data and perform the algorithm on a LARPBS with fewer than mn2 processors, and hence show that the algorithm is highly scalable.
