Line Detection

Line detection refers to a technique used in image processing and computer vision to identify straight lines within an image. This process can help machines and software understand shapes, structures, or important features in photos or videos. For example, line detection is crucial in applications like robotics, where understanding a room's layout or following roads is essential. The technique typically involves analyzing pixel brightness and patterns to find where contrasting edges or boundaries appear, allowing for the extraction of lines that represent objects like roads, buildings, or even handwriting, ultimately aiding in navigation and decision-making.
