Finding fencing foils using the Hough transform
A. Mitchell · 2005
We present a method for the analysis of images of foil fencing. This is a challenging domain because of the speed of motion, which leads to significant motion blur. Our method detects the blade in images of a fencer, and is based on the Hough transform. In experiments under controlled conditions it is found to have a 94% success rate on two unseen sequences of 500 frames.
