Java implementation of OpenCV Hough Circle Transform.


You can detect circles in a given image using the Hough circle transform. You can apply Hough Circle transform using the HoughCircles() method, this method accept the following parameters −

  • A Mat object representing the input image.

  • A Mat object to store the output vectors of the found circles.

  • An integers variables representing the detection method.

  • Two double variables representing an inverse ratio of the accumulator resolution to the image resolution and minimum distance between the centers of the detected circles.
