Abstract

We present some pattern recognition applications of a generalized optical Hough transform and the temporal multiplexing strategies for dynamic scale and orientation-variant detection. Unlike computer-based implementations of the Hough transform, in principle its optical implementation does not impose restrictions on the execution time or on the resolution of the images or frame rate of the videos to be processed, which is potentially useful for real-time applications. Validation experiments are presented.
