Robust Detection of Lines Using the Progressive Probabilistic Hough Transform

TL;DR: The progressive probabilistic Hough transform minimizes the amount of computation needed to detect lines by exploiting the difference in the fraction of votes needed to reliably detect lines with different numbers of supporting points.

Robust clustering with applications in computer vision

TL;DR: A clustering algorithm based on the minimum volume ellipsoid (MVE) robust estimator is proposed that was successfully applied to several computer vision problems formulated in the feature space paradigm: multithresholding of gray level images, analysis of the Hough space, and range image segmentation.

Random sample consensus: a paradigm for model fitting with applications to image analysis and automated cartography

TL;DR: New results are derived on the minimum number of landmarks needed to obtain a solution, and algorithms are presented for computing these minimum-landmark solutions in closed form that provide the basis for an automatic system that can solve the Location Determination Problem under difficult viewing.

Use of the Hough transformation to detect lines and curves in pictures

TL;DR: It is pointed out that the use of angle-radius rather than slope-intercept parameters simplifies the computation further, and how the method can be used for more general curve fitting.
