Hough Line Transform implementation

I am trying to implement Hough Line Transform.
Input. I am using the following image as input. This single line is expected to produce only one intersection of sine waves in the output.
Desired behavior. my source code is expected to produce the following output as it was generated by the sample application of AForge framework.
Here, we can see:
the dimension of the output is identical to the input image.
the intersection of sine waves are seen at almost at the center.
the intersection pattern of waves is very small and simple.
Present behavior. My source code is producing the following output which is different than that of the output generated by AForge.
the intersection is not at the center.
the wave patterns are also different.
Why is my code producing a different output?
.
Source Code
I have written the following code myself. The following is a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable source code.
public class HoughMap

public int[,] houghMap { get; private set; }

// get source image size

int inHeight = image.GetLength(1);
int inWidthHalf = inWidth / 2;
int inHeightHalf = inHeight / 2;
int outWidth = (int)Math.Sqrt(inWidth * inWidth + inHeight * inHeight);
int outHeight = 180;
int outHeightHalf = outHeight / 2;
houghMap = new int[outWidth, outHeight];
// scanning through each (x,y) pixel of the image--+

if (image[x, y] != 0)//if a pixel is black, skip it.
{
// We are drawing some Sine waves. So, it may
// vary from -90 to +90 degrees.
for (int theta = -outHeightHalf; theta < outHeightHalf; theta++)
{
double rad = theta * Math.PI / 180;
// respective radius value is computed

}
}
}

Just look at this C++ code, and this C# code. So, complicated and messy that my brain got arrested. Especially, the C++ one. I never anticipated someone to store 2D values in a 1D array.

Image convolution in spatial domain

I am trying to replicate the outcome of this link using linear convolution in spatial-domain.
Images are first converted to 2d double arrays and then convolved. Image and kernel are of the same size. The image is padded before convolution and cropped accordingly after the convolution.
As compared to the FFT-based convolution, the output is weird and incorrect.
How can I solve the issue?
Note that I obtained the following image output from Matlab which matches my C# FFT output:
.
Update-1: Following #Ben Voigt's comment, I changed the Rescale() function to replace 255.0 with 1 and thus the output is improved substantially. But, still, the output doesn't match the FFT output (which is the correct one).
.
Update-2: Following #Cris Luengo's comment, I have padded the image by stitching and then performed spatial convolution. The outcome has been as follows:
So, the output is worse than the previous one. But, this has a similarity with the 2nd output of the linked answer which means a circular convolution is not the solution.
.
Update-3: I have used the Sum() function proposed by #Cris Luengo's answer. The result is a more improved version of **Update-1**:
But, it is still not 100% similar to the FFT version.
.
Update-4: Following #Cris Luengo's comment, I have subtracted the two outcomes to see the difference:
,
1. spatial minus frequency domain
2. frequency minus spatial domain
Looks like, the difference is substantial which means, spatial convolution is not being done correctly.
.

Your current output looks more like the auto-correlation function than the convolution of Lena with herself. I think the issue might be in your Sum function.
If you look at the definition of the convolution sum, you'll see that the kernel (or the image, doesn't matter) is mirrored:
sum_m( f[n-m] g[m] )
For the one function, m appears with a plus sign, and for the other it appears with a minus sign.
You'll need to modify your Sum function to read the mask1 image in the right order:
static double Sum(double[,] paddedImage1, double[,] mask1, int startX, int startY)
{
double sum = 0;
int maskWidth = mask1.GetLength(0);
int maskHeight = mask1.GetLength(1);
for (int y = startY; y < (startY + maskHeight); y++)
{
for (int x = startX; x < (startX + maskWidth); x++)
{
double img = paddedImage1[x, y];
double msk = mask1[maskWidth - x + startX - 1, maskHeight - y + startY - 1];
sum = sum + (img * msk);
}
}
return sum;
}
The other option is to pass a mirrored version of mask1 to this function.

I have found the solution from this link. The main clue was to introduce an offset and a factor.
factor is the sum of all values in the kernel.
offset is an arbitrary value to fix the output further.
.
#Cris Luengo's answer also raised a valid point.
.
The following source code is supplied in the given link:
private void SafeImageConvolution(Bitmap image, ConvMatrix fmat)
{
//Avoid division by 0
if (fmat.Factor == 0)
return;
Bitmap srcImage = (Bitmap)image.Clone();
int x, y, filterx, filtery;
int s = fmat.Size / 2;
int r, g, b;
Color tempPix;
for (y = s; y < srcImage.Height - s; y++)
{
for (x = s; x < srcImage.Width - s; x++)
{
r = g = b = 0;
// Convolution
for (filtery = 0; filtery < fmat.Size; filtery++)
{
for (filterx = 0; filterx < fmat.Size; filterx++)
{
tempPix = srcImage.GetPixel(x + filterx - s, y + filtery - s);
r += fmat.Matrix[filtery, filterx] * tempPix.R;
g += fmat.Matrix[filtery, filterx] * tempPix.G;
b += fmat.Matrix[filtery, filterx] * tempPix.B;
}
}
r = Math.Min(Math.Max((r / fmat.Factor) + fmat.Offset, 0), 255);
g = Math.Min(Math.Max((g / fmat.Factor) + fmat.Offset, 0), 255);
b = Math.Min(Math.Max((b / fmat.Factor) + fmat.Offset, 0), 255);
image.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(r, g, b));
}
}

How to get the "edges" of a single dimensional array

Explanation
I'm generating textures for UI elements that have a single pixel outline on the edge of the texture.
The method of setting the color data in the texture is limited to passing a one dimensional array of color values.
These textures are 2D, so they are basically rectangles. I need to be able to identify when the current pixel is at an edge. This is how I currently do it:
Color[] colorData = new Color[width * height];
for (int p = 0; p < colorData.Length; p++) {
//Top
if (p < width - 1) {
colorData[p] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
//Left
else if(p % width == 0) {
colorData[p] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
//Right
else if(p % height == height - outlineWidth) {
colorData[p] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
//Bottom
else if(p >= width * (height - outlineWidth)) {
colorData[p] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
//Fill
else {
colorData[p] = DefaultBaseColor;
}
}
The Problem
Some Modulo math and what not. The problem I am having is with the Right side of the Texture. More specifically calculating the right side edge. A picture is worth a thousand words:
I know it is just a miss calculation in the Right edge part. But I have no idea how to make it work. Any help would be highly appreciated.
EDIT:
Figured it out. Here is the working code:
//Fill
for (int p = 0; p < colorData.Length; p++) {
colorData[p] = DefaultBaseColor;
}
//Top
for (int p = 0; width * outlineWidth > p; p++) {
colorData[p] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
//Left and Right
for (int p = 1; height > p; p++) {
for (int i = 0; i < outlineWidth; i++) {
colorData[(p * width) + i] = DefaultOutlineColor; //Left
colorData[((p * width) - i) - 1] = DefaultOutlineColor; //Right
}
}
//Bottom
for (int p = width * height - (width * outlineWidth); colorData.Length > p; p++) {
colorData[p] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}

Why not do it in three loops? One for the top, one for the left and right and then one for the bottom? That way you can skip all the items that don't need to be touched at all.
for(int ndx = 0; Width > ndx; ++ndx)
{
colorData[ndx] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
for(int ndx = 1; Height > ndx; ++ndx)
{
colorDatandx * Widthp] = DefaultOutlineColor;
colorData[ndx*Width + Width] = DefaultOutlineColor;}
}
for(int ndx = Width * Height - Width; Length > ndx; ++ndx)
{
colorDatandxp] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}

Using SoronelHaetir's method I figured it out. Had to edit the math a little bit. Here is the working code if anyone is interested:
for (int ndx = 0; width > ndx; ndx++) {
colorData[ndx] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
for (int ndx = 1; height > ndx ; ndx++) {
colorData[ndx * width] = DefaultOutlineColor;
colorData[(ndx * width) - 1] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
for (int ndx = width * height - width; colorData.Length > ndx; ndx++) {
colorData[ndx] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}

In practice you're doing a one-pixel border - but you use outlineWidth in your original code, so here's an alternative method that works fine for arbitrary border sizes.
for (int p = 0; p < colorData.length; p++) {
// retrieving the x/y coords isn't expensive if you do this only once
int x = p % height;
int y = p / height;
if (x < outlineSize || y < outlineSize || x >= width - outlineSize || y >= height - outlineSize) {
colorData[p] = DefaultOutlineColor;
}
}

Correctly executing bicubic resampling

I've been experimenting with the image bicubic resampling algorithm present in the AForge framework with the idea of introducing something similar into my image processing solution. See the original algorithm here and interpolation kernel here
Unfortunately I've hit a wall. It looks to me like somehow I am calculating the sample destination position incorrectly, probably due to the algorithm being designed for Format24bppRgb images where as I am using a Format32bppPArgb format.
Here's my code:
public Bitmap Resize(Bitmap source, int width, int height)
{
int sourceWidth = source.Width;
int sourceHeight = source.Height;
Bitmap destination = new Bitmap(width, height, PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb);
destination.SetResolution(source.HorizontalResolution, source.VerticalResolution);
using (FastBitmap sourceBitmap = new FastBitmap(source))
{
using (FastBitmap destinationBitmap = new FastBitmap(destination))
{
double heightFactor = sourceWidth / (double)width;
double widthFactor = sourceHeight / (double)height;
// Coordinates of source points
double ox, oy, dx, dy, k1, k2;
int ox1, oy1, ox2, oy2;
// Width and height decreased by 1
int maxHeight = height - 1;
int maxWidth = width - 1;
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
{
// Y coordinates
oy = (y * widthFactor) - 0.5;
oy1 = (int)oy;
dy = oy - oy1;
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
{
// X coordinates
ox = (x * heightFactor) - 0.5f;
ox1 = (int)ox;
dx = ox - ox1;
// Destination color components
double r = 0;
double g = 0;
double b = 0;
double a = 0;
for (int n = -1; n < 3; n++)
{
// Get Y cooefficient
k1 = Interpolation.BiCubicKernel(dy - n);
oy2 = oy1 + n;
if (oy2 < 0)
{
oy2 = 0;
}
if (oy2 > maxHeight)
{
oy2 = maxHeight;
}
for (int m = -1; m < 3; m++)
{
// Get X cooefficient
k2 = k1 * Interpolation.BiCubicKernel(m - dx);
ox2 = ox1 + m;
if (ox2 < 0)
{
ox2 = 0;
}
if (ox2 > maxWidth)
{
ox2 = maxWidth;
}
Color color = sourceBitmap.GetPixel(ox2, oy2);
r += k2 * color.R;
g += k2 * color.G;
b += k2 * color.B;
a += k2 * color.A;
}
}
destinationBitmap.SetPixel(
x,
y,
Color.FromArgb(a.ToByte(), r.ToByte(), g.ToByte(), b.ToByte()));
}
}
}
}
source.Dispose();
return destination;
}
And the kernel which should represent the given equation on Wikipedia
public static double BiCubicKernel(double x)
{
if (x < 0)
{
x = -x;
}
double bicubicCoef = 0;
if (x <= 1)
{
bicubicCoef = (1.5 * x - 2.5) * x * x + 1;
}
else if (x < 2)
{
bicubicCoef = ((-0.5 * x + 2.5) * x - 4) * x + 2;
}
return bicubicCoef;
}
Here's the original image at 500px x 667px.
And the image resized to 400px x 543px.
Visually it appears that the image is over reduced and then the same pixels are repeatedly applied once we hit a particular point.
Can anyone give me some pointers here to solve this?
Note FastBitmap is a wrapper for Bitmap that uses LockBits to manipulate pixels in memory. It works well with everything else I apply it to.
Edit
As per request here's the methods involved in ToByte
public static byte ToByte(this double value)
{
return Convert.ToByte(ImageMaths.Clamp(value, 0, 255));
}
public static T Clamp<T>(T value, T min, T max) where T : IComparable<T>
{
if (value.CompareTo(min) < 0)
{
return min;
}
if (value.CompareTo(max) > 0)
{
return max;
}
return value;
}

You are limiting your ox2 and oy2 to destination image dimensions, instead of source dimensions.
Change this:
// Width and height decreased by 1
int maxHeight = height - 1;
int maxWidth = width - 1;
to this:
// Width and height decreased by 1
int maxHeight = sourceHeight - 1;
int maxWidth = sourceWidth - 1;

Well, I've met a very strange thing, which might be or might be not a souce of the problem.
I've started to try implementing convolution matrix by myself and encountered strange behaviour. I was testing code on a small image 4x4 pixels. The code is following:
var source = Bitmap.FromFile(#"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Безымянный.png");
using (FastBitmap sourceBitmap = new FastBitmap(source))
{
for (int TY = 0; TY < 4; TY++)
{
for (int TX = 0; TX < 4; TX++)
{
Color color = sourceBitmap.GetPixel(TX, TY);
Console.Write(color.B.ToString().PadLeft(5));
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
Althought I'm printing out only blue channel value, it's still clearly incorrect.
On the other hand, your solution partitially works, what makes the thing I've found kind of irrelevant. One more guess I have: what is your system's DPI?
From what I have found helpfull, here are some links:
C++ implementation of bicubic interpolation on
matrix
C# implemetation of bicubic interpolation, lacking the part about rescaling
Thread on gamedev.net which has almost working solution
That's my answer so far, but I will try further.

Applying Gaussian blur to image in frequency domain

I've got torubles with appling gaussian blur to image in frequency domain.
For unknown reasons (probably I've dont something wrong) I recieve wired image instead of blurred one.
There's what i do step by step:
Load the image.
Split image into separate channels.
private static Bitmap[] separateColorChannels(Bitmap source, int channelCount)
{
if (channelCount != 3 && channelCount != 4)
{
throw new NotSupportedException("Bitmap[] FFTServices.separateColorChannels(Bitmap, int): Only 3 and 4 channels are supported.");
}
Bitmap[] result = new Bitmap[channelCount];
LockBitmap[] locks = new LockBitmap[channelCount];
LockBitmap sourceLock = new LockBitmap(source);
sourceLock.LockBits();
for (int i = 0; i < channelCount; ++i)
{
result[i] = new Bitmap(source.Width, source.Height, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
locks[i] = new LockBitmap(result[i]);
locks[i].LockBits();
}
for (int x = 0; x < source.Width; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < source.Height; y++)
{
switch (channelCount)
{
case 3:
locks[0].SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(sourceLock.GetPixel(x, y).R));
locks[1].SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(sourceLock.GetPixel(x, y).G));
locks[2].SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(sourceLock.GetPixel(x, y).B));
break;
case 4:
locks[0].SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(sourceLock.GetPixel(x, y).A));
locks[1].SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(sourceLock.GetPixel(x, y).R));
locks[2].SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(sourceLock.GetPixel(x, y).G));
locks[3].SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(sourceLock.GetPixel(x, y).B));
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < channelCount; ++i)
{
locks[i].UnlockBits();
}
sourceLock.UnlockBits();
}
Convert every channel into complex images (with AForge.NET).
public static AForge.Imaging.ComplexImage[] convertColorChannelsToComplex(Emgu.CV.Image<Emgu.CV.Structure.Gray, Byte>[] channels)
{
AForge.Imaging.ComplexImage[] result = new AForge.Imaging.ComplexImage[channels.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < channels.Length; ++i)
{
result[i] = AForge.Imaging.ComplexImage.FromBitmap(channels[i].Bitmap);
}
return result;
}
Apply Gaussian blur.
First i create the kernel (For testing purposes kernel size is equal to image size, tho only center part of it is calculated with gaussian function, rest of kernel is equal to re=1 im=0).
private ComplexImage makeGaussKernel(int side, double min, double max, double step, double std)
{
// get value at top left corner
double _0x0 = gauss2d(min, min, std);
// top left corner should be 1, so making scaler for rest of the values
double scaler = 1 / _0x0;
int pow2 = SizeServices.getNextNearestPowerOf2(side);
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(pow2, pow2, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
var result = AForge.Imaging.ComplexImage.FromBitmap(bitmap);
// For test purposes my kernel is size of image, so first, filling with 1 only.
for (int i = 0; i < result.Data.GetLength(0); ++i)
{
for (int j = 0; j < result.Data.GetLength(0); ++j)
{
result.Data[i, j].Re = 1;
result.Data[i, j].Im = 0;
}
}
// The real kernel's size.
int count = (int)((Math.Abs(max) + Math.Abs(min)) / step);

As a result I've got shifted, red-colored blurred version of image: link.
#edit - Updated the question with several changes to the code.

I figured it out with some help at DSP stackexchange... and some cheating but it works. The main problem was kernel generation and applying FFT to it. Also important thing is that AForge.NET divides image pixels by 255 during conversion to ComplexImage and multiplies by 255 during conversion from ComplexImage to Bitmap (thanks Olli Niemitalo # DSP SE).
How I solved this:
I've found how kernel should look like after FFT (see below).
Looked up colors of that image.
Calculated gauss2d for x = -2; y = -2; std = 1.
Calculated the prescaler to receive color value from value calculated in pt. 3 (see wolfram).
Generated kernel with scaled values with perscaler from pt. 4.
However I cant use FFT on generated filter, because generated filter looks like filter after FFT already. It works - the output image is blurred without artifacts so I think that's not too bad.
The images (I cant post more than 2 links, and images are farily big):
Input image
Generated filter (without FFT!)
Parameters for below function:
std = 1.0
size = 8.0
width = height = 512
Result image
The final code:
private ComplexImage makeGaussKernel(double size, double std, int imgWidth, int imgHeight)
{
double scale = 2000.0;
double hsize = size / 2.0;
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(imgWidth, imgHeight, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
LockBitmap lbmp = new LockBitmap(bmp);
lbmp.LockBits();
double y = -hsize;
double yStep = hsize / (lbmp.Height / 2.0);
double xStep = hsize / (lbmp.Width / 2.0);
for (int i = 0; i < lbmp.Height; ++i)
{
double x = -hsize;
for (int j = 0; j < lbmp.Width; ++j)
{
double g = gauss2d(x, y, std) * scale;
g = g < 0.0 ? 0.0 : g;
g = g > 255.0 ? 255.0 : g;
lbmp.SetPixel(j, i, Color.FromArgb((int)g));
x += xStep;
}
y += yStep;
}
lbmp.UnlockBits();
return ComplexImage.FromBitmap(bmp);
}
