pythonopencvimage-processinghoughlines

why lines detected by opencv houghline are not parallel with real lines in image?


higuys, at first please see below image: enter image description here

why lines that detected and drawn by houghline are not really parallel with white lines of football pitch ??

i need that intersection point be on really places on image precisely

then it need to draw stright parallel line with white lines in image who can helps me to solve this problem

thanks in advance

if you want to work with code ,this is original image d.jpg: enter image description here

and this is my python code:

Solution

  • Hough uses accumulators with a finite resolution and this resolution determines the accuracy. You can reduce your theta (at the expense of running time, and possibly loss of reliability).

    If I had to do it, I would probably add some post-processing to detect the lines more precisely along the Hough lines, f.i. using a directional gradient filter and robust line fitting.
