A port of Line Segment Detector(LSD) to use OpenCV structures, as part of the GSoC 2013 program. The original code and paper, developed by Rafael Grompone von Gioi grompone@gmail.com, can be found at http://www.ipol.im/pub/art/2012/gjmr-lsd/ .

The source files are separated in the following directories:

* src/ 		- main files that are build to different shared libs
* examples/ - contains a variety of examples on how to use the code
* tests/	- different ways to test the performance

Extra

* docs/		- documentation from the original code
* images/	- contains images for easy use and tests

On linux, navigate to the lsd_1.6 directory and execute

mkdir build cd build/ cmake .. make

To use the OpenCV LSD, create and LSD object, calling detect with the input image and a vector of lines.

To test the difference between the standard and the converted algorithm, run

./visual_test ./../images/any-image

to test the algorithm in specific cases, use the

./accuracy_test

It will run the code against a set of predefined cases.
