How can I identify a circle in an image?
In order to detect the circles, or any other geometric shape, we first need to detect the edges of the objects present in the image. The edges in an image are the points for which there is a sharp change of color. For instance, the edge of a red ball on a white background is a circle.
What algorithm is used to detect circles in image processing?
The circle Hough Transform (CHT) is a basic feature extraction technique used in digital image processing for detecting circles in imperfect images. The circle candidates are produced by “voting” in the Hough parameter space and then selecting local maxima in an accumulator matrix.
How to detect circles using OpenCV?
HoughCircles function in OpenCV to detect circles in images. Unlike detecting squares or rectangles in images, detecting circles is substantially harder since we cannot reply on approximating the number of points in a contour. To help us detect circles in images, OpenCV has supplied the cv2. HoughCircles function.
