In one of my steps to find the edges of a card I am using HoughLines to find the lines in the image. I get back quite skewed results, the lines are indeed based of the lines in the image but the accuracy of the lines is not as good as I would like.
To apply the transformation I am using the following code.
vector<Vec2f> lines;
HoughLines(outerBox, lines, 1, CV_PI/180, 270);
for(int i=0;i<lines.size();i++)
{
drawLine(lines[i], outerBox, CV_RGB(0,0,128));
}
When given this image:
I get these results: (image too large sorry for link)
How can I Improve the accuracy of the transformation? I have played around with the values of the last parameter and can't find the sweet spot.
