The intersective Hough transform for geophysical applications

The Hough transform is a widely used tool for alignment identification, but the voting scheme usually used in this transform presents serious problems when alignments are not exact. We propose a voting scheme based directly on intersections in Hough space, which is more efficient and solves the abov...

Proponemos un método de votación basado directamente en intersecciones en el espacio de Hough, que es más eficiente y soluciona los problemas mencionados; el método propuesto también da un método directo para cuantificar cada alineamiento. El método intersectivo puede obviar el uso de espacios de Hough divididos en celdas acumuladoras, y trabajar directamente sobre cúmulos de intersecciones, de manera que todo el proceso de identificación de alineamientos puede ser automatizado. Un ejemplo sintético que representa una aplicación geofísica de la transformada de Hough, identificación de alineamientos inexactos en presencia de ruido, es usado para ilustrar el método propuesto y para discutir otras aplicaciones. Un método opcional de ponderación de los datos puede ser usado para tomar en cuenta posibles incertidumbres en éstos. Tanto para alineamientos exactos como inexactos, el método intersectivo da mejores resultados que el método tradicional.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
