I wonder when was first line detection algorithm created (first used in practice and refrenced by any publications) and when line detection problem was posed (I know it can look like generaal edge detection problem but it is quite more complex than that)?Well... some students (including me) were trained that line detection is achevable by Hough transform. Wiki history page talls us that The Hough transform was patented as U.S. Patent 3,069,654 in 1962 and assigned to the U.S. and he used it scince 1959...   and that is not even problem posting - thats like a solution... so... What shall I do? Who posted the problem, formalized it?BTW: Here (IEEE library) search results sorted by date (oldest -> newest)... (I see Straight-line detection with diodes: this 1934 year)
When was first line detection algorithm created and when line detection problem was posed?
