HoughPeaks function

[ariel.solomon]

Hi,

I have copied and assimilated the houghpeaks function into octave.

The function:

function [r, c, hnew] = houghpeaks(h, numpeaks, threshold, nhood)

%HOUGHPEAKS Detect peaks in Hough transform.

%   [R, C, HNEW] = HOUGHPEAKS(H, NUMPEAKS, THRESHOLD, NHOOD) detects

%   peaks in the Hough transform matrix H.  NUMPEAKS specifies the

%   maximum number of peak locations to look for.  Values of H below

%   THRESHOLD will not be considered to be peaks.  NHOOD is a

%   two-element vector specifying the size of the suppression

%   neighborhood.  This is the neighborhood around each peak that is

%   set to zero after the peak is identified.  The elements of NHOOD

%   must be positive, odd integers.  R and C are the row and column

%   coordinates of the identified peaks.  HNEW is the Hough transform

%   with peak neighborhood suppressed.

%

%   If NHOOD is omitted, it defaults to the smallest odd values >=

%   size(H)/50.  If THRESHOLD is omitted, it defaults to

%   0.5*max(H(:)).  If NUMPEAKS is omitted, it defaults to 1.

if nargin < 4

   nhood = size(h)/50;

   % Make sure the neighborhood size is odd.

   nhood = max(2*ceil(nhood/2) + 1, 1);

end

if nargin < 3

   threshold = 0.5 * max(h(:));

end

if nargin < 2

   numpeaks = 1;

end

 

done = false;

hnew = h; r = []; c = [];

while ~done

   [p, q] = find(hnew == max(hnew(:)));

   p = p(1); q = q(1);

   if hnew(p, q) >= threshold

      r(end + 1) = p; c(end + 1) = q;

 

      % Suppress this maximum and its close neighbors.

      p1 = p - (nhood(1) - 1)/2; p2 = p + (nhood(1) - 1)/2;

      q1 = q - (nhood(2) - 1)/2; q2 = q + (nhood(2) - 1)/2;

      [pp, qq] = ndgrid(p1:p2,q1:q2);

      pp = pp(:); qq = qq(:);

 

      % Throw away neighbor coordinates that are out of bounds in

      % the rho direction.

      badrho = find((pp < 1) | (pp > size(h, 1)));

      pp(badrho) = []; qq(badrho) = [];

 

      % For coordinates that are out of bounds in the theta

      % direction, we want to consider that H is antisymmetric

      % along the rho axis for theta = +/- 90 degrees.

      theta_too_low = find(qq < 1);

      qq(theta_too_low) = size(h, 2) + qq(theta_too_low);

      pp(theta_too_low) = size(h, 1) - pp(theta_too_low) + 1;

      theta_too_high = find(qq > size(h, 2));

      qq(theta_too_high) = qq(theta_too_high) - size(h, 2);

      pp(theta_too_high) = size(h, 1) - pp(theta_too_high) + 1;

 

      % Convert to linear indices to zero out all the values.

      hnew(sub2ind(size(hnew), pp, qq)) = 0;

 

      done = length(r) == numpeaks;

   else

      done = true;

   end

end

 

I get an error each time with different nhood values:

Input: P=houghpeaks(H,5,'threshhold',ceil(0.3*max(H(:))));

Error:

P=houghpeaks(H,5,'threshhold',ceil(0.3*max(H(:))));

error: nhood(2): out of bound 1

error: called from

    houghpeaks at line 44 column 10

 

Any thoughts?

Best,
