A New Vanishing Point Detection Algorithm for Orthogonal Directions

This paper presents the orthogonal direction vanishing points detection algorithm for scene image. It use the Hough transform to detect straight lines in the image, then it based on RANSAC robust framework to calculate the initial value, the end use of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for nonlinear optimization iteration to strike the final vanishing point. The experiments result shows that the algorithm can not only quickly detect scene orthogonal direction vanishing points, but also high-precision and that respected this method suitable for use in a scene with large buildings or hyperopia scene.
