opencv之霍夫曼变换

霍夫变换不仅可以找出图片中的直线,也可以找出圆,椭圆,三角形等等,只要你能定义出直线方程,圆形的方程等等.

不得不说,现在网上的各种博客质量真的不行,网上一堆文章,乱TM瞎写,误人子弟.本身自己就没有理解的很清楚,又不去读算法实现的源码,写的云山雾罩的,越看越懵逼.

霍夫变换本身的思路是很简明的.这篇文章我们就以霍夫直线变换说明算法的思想.

霍夫变换

思考一下,二维平面里我们怎么表达直线.



有两种表达方式:

• 直角坐标系(也叫笛卡尔坐标系)
• 极坐标系(也叫球坐标系)

第一种就是最常见的直角坐标系下的表达:y=ax+b的形式.

第二种就是极坐标系下的表达:

我们把直角坐标系下的直线方程用r,theta去表达直线方程的斜率和截距.



则得到极坐标下的表达: r=xcosθ+ysinθ

假设图像中某像素点坐标为(x,y).在直角坐标系下穿过这一点我们可以画出无数条直线.

转化到一个r-θ坐标系下,我们就可以绘制出一条曲线.也就是r=xcosθ+ysinθ中的x,y是已知数,θ和r是未知数



这条曲线上每一个θ对应一个r,代表了一条直线.这些直线的共同点是他们都穿过了坐标为(x,y)的像素点.

针对图像中的每一个像素点,我都可以绘制出一条曲线来表达穿过该点的无数条直线. 那曲线的交点代表什么呢? 很显然,代表着交点处的(θ,r)所代表的直线即穿过了像素点A,又穿过了像素点B,像素点C....

怎么样叫做"找到图中的一条直线"

回到我们的问题,我们想找出图像中的一条线.意味着什么?

很多博客说了,意味着找出一条直线,尽可能多地穿过各个像素点.



我TM随便在图像上画直线,不都能穿过很多像素点吗?

实际上,应该是找出一条直线尽可能多地穿过"有效像素点".这也是为什么霍夫变换前一定要先做边缘检测的原因.经过canny检测以后(不知道的参考上一篇文章),得到的图像矩阵,只有在边缘处其像素灰度值才是比较大的,反映在图像上就是白色亮点,在非边缘处,其灰度值是0,反映在图像上就是黑色.这些代表了边缘的像素点就是有效像素点.

即:假如我能找到这么一条直线,穿过了很多个有效像素点(这个就是我们需要调参的阈值),那我就说我在图像中找到了一条直线. . 同理,找圆,找三角形还是找任意形状都是一个道理.

比方说,下面这个图



你就找不到一条直线,穿过很多个白点.所以图中是不存在直线的.

霍夫变换的过程

• canny边缘检测提取出边缘
• 对边缘图像中的每个像素点,
  
  伪代码如下

for (every pixel)
{
    if(pixel is effective edge pixel)
    {
        for(int theta = 0; theta < 360; theta++)
        {
            r=xcosθ+ysinθ;//x,y为pixel坐标
            accum(theta,r) += 1; //(theta,r)所代表的直线经过的像素点数量加1
        }
    }
}

for(every element in accum)
{
    if (count of (theta,r) > thershold)
    {
        find line (theta,r)
    }
}

其中, double rho, double theta,决定了最终有多少种(theta,r)的组合.决定了过每个像素点的线的可能情况.这个值越小,粒度就越细,需要的计算量也越大. 一般取rho=1,即1像素.theta取1度.

下面是一个提取车位图片中直线的示例

import sys

import cv2 as cv
import numpy as np
def test():
    src = cv.imread("/home/sc/disk/keepgoing/opencv_test/houghtest.jpg")
    src = cv.GaussianBlur(src, (3, 3), 0)
    gray = cv.cvtColor(src, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    dst = cv.Canny(src, 150, 300, None, 3)
    lines = cv.HoughLines(dst, 1, np.pi / 180, 150, None, 0, 0)

    # Copy edges to the images that will display the results in BGR
    cdst = cv.cvtColor(dst, cv.COLOR_GRAY2BGR)
    cdstP = np.copy(cdst)

    lines = cv.HoughLines(dst, 1, np.pi / 180, 200, None, 0, 0)

    if lines is not None:
        for i in range(0, len(lines)):
            rho = lines[i][0][0]
            theta = lines[i][0][1]
            a = math.cos(theta)
            b = math.sin(theta)
            x0 = a * rho
            y0 = b * rho
            pt1 = (int(x0 + 1000*(-b)), int(y0 + 1000*(a)))
            pt2 = (int(x0 - 1000*(-b)), int(y0 - 1000*(a)))
            cv.line(cdst, pt1, pt2, (0,0,255), 3, cv.LINE_AA)

    cv.imshow("origin",src)
    cv.imshow("dst1",dst)
    cv.imshow("dst2",cdst)
    if 27 == cv.waitKey():
        cv.destroyAllWindows()

stage1即核心逻辑,挨个遍历有效像素,统计出各种(theta,r)代表的直线穿过的像素点点的数量

Mat _accum = Mat::zeros( (numangle+2), (numrho+2), CV_32SC1 );

可以看到统计直线穿过的点数量的矩阵的个数是 (2 + numangle) x (numrho+2),即与我们传入的double rho, double theta有关.这个值越小,相应的我们搜索的直线数量就越多.

opencv的实现里有一些可能是出于工程上的考虑,这点不太确定,比如这里为什么要(2 + numangle) x (numrho+2) 而不是 numangle x numrho

int max_rho = width + height;
int min_rho = -max_rho;

为什么是w + h,而没有用开平方根求对角线长度.

希望知道的朋友可以留言告诉我.

// stage 2. find local maximums

static void
findLocalMaximums( int numrho, int numangle, int threshold,
                   const int *accum, std::vector<int>& sort_buf )
{
    for(int r = 0; r < numrho; r++ )
        for(int n = 0; n < numangle; n++ )
        {
            int base = (n+1) * (numrho+2) + r+1;
            if( accum[base] > threshold &&
                accum[base] > accum[base - 1] && accum[base] >= accum[base + 1] &&
                accum[base] > accum[base - numrho - 2] && accum[base] >= accum[base + numrho + 2] )
                sort_buf.push_back(base);
        }
}

寻找计数的局部最大值.类似于非极大值抑制.进一步细化检测到的直线,把局部的很相似的直线只取最精准的.

// stage 3. sort the detected lines by accumulator value

按accum数量大小排序

// stage 4. store the first min(total,linesMax) lines to the output buffer

保存前n条lines到输出Buffer.
