Hough Transform

The Hough Transform is a technique used in image analysis to identify shapes, like lines or curves, within an image. Imagine trying to find a straight road in a blurry photo; the Hough Transform helps by translating points in the image space into a different space where it's easier to detect patterns. It effectively recognizes all possible lines in the image and determines the most likely ones based on where many points coincide. This method is widely used in computer vision, such as for edge detection and shape recognition, helping machines “see” and understand their surroundings.
