LINE RECOGNITION IN IMAGE FILES USING INTEGER-BASED FORMALAPPROACH

Abstract

One of the main areas in image processing is line detection and recognition. Some algorithms for line detection were introduced. However, these algorithms involve expensive operations like floating-point arithmetic and matrix operations. In addition, the number of iterations of these expensive operations is high. Such operations increase the computational time significantly. In this paper, a line recognition algorithm, which involves integer arithmetic only, is introduced. The algorithm uses a formal approach to recognize a line within an image file.
