Locating Thin Lines and Roof Edges by Custom-Built Moments

The method of custom-built moments allows location of step edges in an image in parametric form, as an equation ax+by=c, using a customizable mask of almost any desired shape, or moment functions adapted to calculation in a particular basis. We adapt this method to the problem of locating both thin lines and roof edges in parametric form.
