A chaosgenetic algorithm wasproposed to extractgeometric primitivesdirectly from original
images. Comparedwith the traditionalgeometric primitive extraction, this algorithm needs notdo edge
detection before geometric primitive extraction. Instead, it directly searches for geometric primitives
from an original grey image based on the gradient information. Additionally, this algorithm reduces
time and space consumption compared with Hough transform. Simulations show that this method is
simple, efficient and reasonably robust.
