Abstract

We propose a method to extract features optically from the input pattern by use of an array of Hough transfOllli filters. Here the subparts of the input pattern are Hough-transformed by. their cOlTesponding elements of the filter array independently and simultaneously. Compared with the conventional method, in which the whole input pattern is Hough-transformed by a single optical filter, the proposed method not only provides the improved optical transform results when the input pattern becomes complex but also extracts the approximate position information of the line segment features. To show the feasibility of this approach, we fabricated a $5\times5$ filter array and performed preliminary experiments.iments.

광학적 Hough 변환 필터 배열을 이용하여 입력영상의 특징을 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 여기서는 입력 영상의 부분들이 대용되는 필터 배열의 요소들에 의해 독립적으로 동시에 Hough 변환된다. 하나의 광학적 Hough 변환 필터를 사용하여 입력영상 전체에 대한 변환 결과를 얻는 기존의 방식에 비해, 제안한 방법은 입력 영상에 존재하는 선소 특징의 대략적 위치 정보를 함께 얻을 수 있고 복잡한 입력영상에 대해서도 광학적 정확성을 높일수 있다. 이 방식을 실험적으로 입증하기 위해 $5\times5$ Hough 변환 필터 배열을 제작하고 기초적인 실험을 수행하였다.
