Finding straight lines on images is a regularly occurring problem in fields of science that include image processing. In this paper, a new method is proposed that is capable of extracting lines from images. It uses a bottom-up approach: finding small (3-pixels long) lines on the edge map, analyzing and grouping them based on their derived characteristics. From the groups, the appropriate straight lines can be easily determined. The main advantage of this method is that most of its functionalities can be done with parallel computing, thus achieving a very fast operation.
