The Circular Hough Transform (CHT) is probably the most widely used technique for detecting circular shapes within an image. This paper presents a novel variation of CHT which we call the Circular Degree Hough Transform (CDHT). The CDHT showed better performance than CHT for a number of experiments (eye localization, crater detection, etc.) included in this document. The improvement is mainly achieved by considering the orientation of the edges detected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
