摘要
We present a newly developed algorithm for the detection of elliptical shapes in images in the presence of high noise levels. The algorithm combines a modified version of the Hough transform with a genetic algorithm, namely Differential Evolution. Suggestions for a parallel implementation are given. In our implementation the algorithm is restricted due to the technical problem to be solved, yet it can be easily generalized to arbitrary ellipse detection. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.
