How to detect circles in OpenCV Python?
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.
What is meant by Hough transform?
The Hough transform is a popular feature extraction technique that converts an image from Cartesian to polar coordinates. Any point within the image space is represented by a sinusoidal curve in the Hough space.
What is Hough_gradient?
In case of HOUGH_GRADIENT , it is the accumulator threshold for the circle centers at the detection stage. The smaller it is, the more false circles may be detected. Circles, corresponding to the larger accumulator values, will be returned first. minRadius. minimum circle radius.
