High-speed acousto-optic mapping modulator for the generalized Hough transform
Abstract:
We describe a high-speed acousto-optic Hough-transform mapping modulator. This mapping modulator generates any θ slice of the straight line Hough-transform and one-dimensional slices of generalized Hough transforms (e.g., for circles and ellipses). We derive the mapping functions for the acousto-optic modulator for both circle and ellipse Hough transforms and show simulations of generalized Hough transforms using both functions. We also describe how the mapping modulators can compute Hough transforms for nonanalytically describable inputs.
