Technical Report - The Hough Transform versus the UpWrite
Robert A. McLaughlin, Michael D. Alder · 1997
This paper compares the Hough Transform and the UpWrite for the detection of lines, circles and ellipses. Both ideal and noisy images are tested. The UpWrite is found to be more robust for images containing perturbation noise. For ideal images and images with speckle noise, the results are found to depend on the complexity of the object being detected, with more complex objects favouring the UpWrite. A program allowing the reader to experiment with these algorithms can be found at the WWW address http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/Papers/Technical_Reports/1997/02/Index.html
