Original Abstract

Some variants of the Hough transform can be used for detecting vanishing points and groups of concurrent lines. This article addresses a common misconception that in the polar line parameterization the vanishing point is represented by a line. The numerical error caused by this inaccuracy is then estimated. The article studies in detail point-to-line-mappings (PTLMs) -- a class of line parameterizations which have the property that the vanishing point is represented by a line (and thus can be easily searched for). When a PTLM parameterization is used for the straight line detection by the Hough transform, a pair or a triplet of complementary PTLMs has to be used in order to obtain a limited Hough space. The complementary pairs and triplets of PTLMs are formalized and discussed in this article.
