Hough Transformation OPENCV C++

http://inside.mines.edu/~whoff/courses/EENG512/lectures/HoughInOpenCV.pdf

Hi, i am going through the pdf tutorial in the link above.

I encounter problem on page 6 of the slides.

As we seee that the output of the code after inserting the canny edge detector, it should trace out all the edges on a photo.

I cannot get what is shown at page 6.

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    printf("Hello world\n");
// read an image
Mat imgInput = imread("a.png");
// create image window named "My Image"
namedWindow("My Image");

// Convert to gray if necessary
if (imgInput.channels() == 3)
    cv::cvtColor(imgInput, imgInput, CV_BGR2GRAY);

// Apply Canny edge detector
Mat imgContours;
double thresh = 105; // try different values to see effect
Canny(imgInput, imgContours, 0.4*thresh, thresh); // low, high threshold


// show the image on window
imshow("My Image", imgInput);
// wait for xx ms (0 means wait until keypress)
waitKey(5000);
return 0;
}

And also, there is a line double thresh = xxx;//try different values What values should i put? and what are the values mean?

Thank you

Just replace your imshow function with ,

imshow("My Image", imgContours);

and you can use thresh value approximately around 200.

Change threshold value and see effect of it and according to that you can select your threshold value.

The imgContours is your output map with all the edges. You should use imshow with imgContours.

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("Hello world\n");
// read an image
Mat imgInput = imread("a.png");
// create image window named "My Image"
namedWindow("My Image");

// Convert to gray if necessary
if (imgInput.channels() == 3)
    cv::cvtColor(imgInput, imgInput, CV_BGR2GRAY);

// Apply Canny edge detector
Mat imgContours;
double thresh = 105; // try different values to see effect
Canny(imgInput, imgContours, 0.4*thresh, thresh); // low, high threshold


// show the image on window
imshow("My Image", imgContours);
// wait for xx ms (0 means wait until keypress)
waitKey(5000);
return 0;
}
