Drawing a white line on an image using (rho, theta).

8 views (last 30 days)
I want to draw a line on the following image using (| |rho , theta ) of the detected line using the Hough transformation.
.
expected output
.
What is wrong in the following code?
It's not being able to display the line.
input_image = gray_imread('Scratch1.1.png');
maxPeaks = 1;
fillgap = 500;
minline = 7;
binary_image = edge(input_image,'canny');
[H,T,R] = hough(binary_image);
threshPeaks = ceil(0.3*max(H(:)));
P = houghpeaks(H, maxPeaks, 'threshold', threshPeaks);
hlines = houghlines(binary_image, T, R, P, 'FillGap', fillgap, 'MinLength', minline);
h_line = hlines(1);
rho = h_line.rho;
theta = h_line.theta;
imshow(input_image);
hold on;
x = h_line.point1(1):h_line.point2(1);
y = (rho - x* cos(theta) )/ sin(theta);
plot(x,y);

There seems to be a Problem when you calculate x and y. The line is there but in the wrong location (try expanding the axis limits to see what I mean.) Also: Calculation of x and y (especially with interval 1 on x, it's just a line) is not necessary. If I use
hline = plot([h_line.point1(1) h_line.point2(1)],[h_line.point1(2) h_line.point2(2)],'w')
I get the results you seem to be expecting.

This is incorrect answer. Using sind and cosd solved my problem.

My comment was the answer, so to stick to the structure of this forum:
Your calculation of x and y yields to wrong values. If you use the end points of the houghlines directly
hline = plot([h_line.point1(1) h_line.point2(1)],[h_line.point1(2) h_line.point2(2)],'w')
you get the line you showed in your "expected output"
Please mark this as answer if it fits your needs.
