+<h1>Image Processing Samples</h1>
+<h3><a name="proc_fourier">Fourier Transform</a></h3>
+
+ <p>This is another command line application that process an image in the
+ Fourier Frequency Domain. In this domain the image is a map of the spatial
+ frequencies of the original image. It depends on the IM main library and on
+ the IM_FFTW library. The FFTW is a very fast Fourier transform, but is
+ contaminated by the GPL license, so everything must be also GPL. To use it in
+ a commercial application you must contact the MIT and pay for a commercial
+ license.</p>
+ <p>Se also
+ <a href="doxygen/group__transform.html">
+ Reference / Image Processing / Domain Transform Operations</a>.</p>
+ <p>You can view the source code here: <a href="../download/proc_fourier.cpp">
+ proc_fourier.cpp</a></p>
+
+<h3><a name="houghlines">Hough Lines</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The Hough transform can be used to detect lines in an image. But it results
+ are highly dependent on other operations done before and after the transform.
+ Here you can see a small pseudo code that ilustrates a possible sequence of
+ operations to detect lines using the hough transform.</p>
+ <p>First the canny operator will isolate the borders, the threshold will mark
+ the candidate pixels. After the transform the local maximum are isolated to
+ detect the line parameters of the lines that have many pixels from the
+ cadidate ones. The last operation will just draw the detected lines over the
+ original gray scale image.</p>
+
+ <pre>imProcessCanny(in,out,stddev)
+imProcessHysteresisThreshold(in,out,low,high)
+
+imProcessHoughLines(in,out)
+imProcessLocalMaxThreshold(in,out,size,min)
+
+imProcessHoughLinesDraw(in1,in2,out)</pre>
+
+ <p>Or a more complete sequence using another approach:</p>
+
+ <pre>gray = imImageCreate(width, height, IM_GRAY, IM_BYTE);
+binary = imImageCreate(width, height, IM_BINARY, IM_BYTE);
+binary2 = imImageClone(binary);
+
+rhomax = sqrt(width*width +height*height)/2;
+hough_height=2*rhomax+1;
+hough = imImageCreate(180, hough_height, IM_GRAY, IM_INT);
+hough_binary = imImageCreate(180, hough_height, IM_BINARY, IM_BYTE);
+
+imConvertColorSpace(rgb, gray);
+
+// very important step, the quality of the detected lines are highly dependent on
+// the quality of the binary image
+// Using a simple threshold like in here maybe not a good solution for your image
+imProcessPercentThreshold(gray, binary, percent=50);
+
+// eliminates unwanted objects, depending on the quality of the threshold
+// this step can be skiped
+imProcessBinMorphClose(binary, binary2, 3, 1);
+imProcessPrune(binary2, binary, 4, size=100, 0);
+
+// Is there any holes in the objects?
+// Holes also have borders...
+imProcessFillHoles(binary, binary2, 4);
+
+// leave only the object borders
+imProcessPerimeterLine(binary2, binary);
+
+// here you should have near only the lines you want to detect.
+// if there are more or less lines that you want redo the previous steps
+
+imProcessHoughLines(binary, hough);
+imProcessLocalMaxThreshold(hough, hough_binary, 7, 100);
+
+// this is optional, it will draw the results
+imProcessHoughLinesDraw(gray,hough_binary,draw_hough); </pre>
+
+ <p>In the result of <b>imProcessLocalMaxThreshold</b> there will be several white
+ pixels. They represent the detected lines. Defining:</p>
+
+ <pre>Y = a * X + b
+cos(theta) * X + sin(theta) * Y = rho
+
+where:
+ X = x - width/2
+ Y = y - height/2
+
+because the origin of the transform is in the center of the image</pre>
+
+ <p>Each coordinate in the transform has values in the intervals:</p>
+
+ <pre>theta = 0 .. 179 (horizontal coordinate of the hough space)
+rho = -rhomax .. rhomax (vertical coordinate of the hough space,
+ vertically centered in the image)
+
+where:
+ rhomax = sqrt(width*width + height*height) /2 (width and height of the original image)</pre>
+
+ <p>For each (xi, yi) point found in the result image:</p>
+
+ <pre>theta = xi;
+rho = yi - rhomax;
+
+then:
+
+a = -cos(theta)/sin(theta);
+b = (rho + (width/2)*cos(theta) + (height/2)*sin(theta))/sin(theta);</pre>
+
+ <p>The complex formula for &quot;b&quot; came from the fact that we have to shift the
+ result to the image origin at (0,0).</p>
+
+<h3><a name="analysis">Image Analysis</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The following pseudo code ilustrates the sequence of operations to measure
+ regions. This is also called Blob Analysis.</p>
+ <p>First the regions are isolated from background using a threshold. Then
+ regions too small or too large are eliminated and the holes are filled in this
+ example. After the regions are found we can start measuring properties of the
+ regions like area and perimeter.</p>
+
+ <pre>imProcessSliceThreshold(in, out, level1, level2)
+imProcessPrune(in, out, connect, size1, size2)
+imProcessFillHoles(in, out, connect)
+imAnalyzeFindRegions(in, out, connect)
+imAnalyzeMeasureArea(in, area)
+imAnalyzeMeasurePerimeter(in, perim)</pre>
