transform hough lines to hessian normal form in matlab

To convert Hough lines to Hessian normal form in Matlab, you can follow these steps:

  1. Find the endpoints of each Hough line by checking the intersections of the line with the image boundaries.
  2. Calculate the slope and intercept of each line using the endpoints.
  3. Convert the slope-intercept form to the Hessian normal form, which is given by the equation: r = x*sin(theta) - y*cos(theta), where r is the perpendicular distance from the origin to the line, and theta is the angle the perpendicular makes with the positive x-axis.

Here is some sample code to implement these steps in Matlab:

main.m
% Read the image and obtain the Hough lines
img = imread('image.jpg');
[H,T,R] = hough(img);
P = houghpeaks(H,20);

% Obtain the endpoints of each line and calculate slope-intercept form
lines = houghlines(img,T,R,P);
for k = 1:length(lines)
   xy = [lines(k).point1; lines(k).point2];
   slope(k) = (xy(2,2)-xy(1,2)) / (xy(2,1)-xy(1,1));
   intercept(k) = xy(1,2) - slope(k)*xy(1,1);
end

% Convert slope-intercept form to Hessian normal form
for k = 1:length(lines)
   theta(k) = atan(slope(k));
   r(k) = intercept(k)*cos(theta(k)) - xy(1,1)*sin(theta(k));
end
