Detect crossing lines at a single point

asked 2018-02-13 21:31:40 -0600

I am currently stuck trying to detect where lines intersect on a grid containing non-straight lines.

My goal is to determine a single point or pixel at the intersection of two lines, for all lines on the "grid", which could then be related to a distance. An example of a grid:

I work in Python... Any help or ideas in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

My guess

  • OTSU thresholding for pure BW image
  • Binary inversion to have white pixels for your edges
  • Then a small dilation to connect everything followed by thinning to find single pixel edges
  • Finally a harris corner detection

My guess is the corner detector will have a much higher result at the intersections than along the lines.

Hi,

try out different filters for preprocessing.

or result of variance filter: image description

based on these images you should be able to detect the peak points (maybe apply first a distance map)
