I would like to detect some lines via the standard Hough transform and filter the result according to a theta value so that the remaining lines would be the ones that have some specific orientation.
What I'm curious about is, in the function HoughLines
, where is the origin that this function calculates each theta value from? For example, if I have an image of size width x height, what is the origin's coordinates? Is it (0,height) or (0,0)?
I assume it's somewhere between the 4 corners of the image but I'm not so sure. If anybody could clear this out, it would be really appreciated.
The origin seen in this picture from opencv docs:
Is (0, heigh) in the image, the bottom left corner
