Linear feature detection in digital images is an important low-level operationin computer vision that has many applications. In remote sensing tasks, it can be usedto extract roads, railroads, and rivers from satellite or low-resolution aerialimages,which can be used for the capture or update of data for geographic information andnavigation systems. In addition, it is useful in medical imaging for the extraction ofblood vessels from an X-ray angiography or the bones in the skull from a CT or
