The use of the Circular Hough Transform for counting coins

The paper presents the circular Hough transform in the process of detecting and counting coins. The issues of linear and circular Hough transform are discussed. An algorithm for counting coins in a three-dimensional image using the discrete Hough space is demonstrated. Moreover, the results of the application for detecting and counting coins in a static image and video stream are presented. Observations of histograms for HSV and RGB color palettes, for different camera resolutions and various parameters of image segmentation, edge detection and smoothing filter have been made.
