Abstract
A new method for automated detection of reference points in single optical images is introduced. The detection process is based on Hough transforms for ellipses and lines. Experiments show that the algorithm is flexible with regard to different experiment setups and robust against variable lighting conditions. The new method allows the automated application of Tuned-Aperture Computed Tomography (TACT), which provides volume reconstructions from positions of reference points seen in planar radiographs. A hybrid system is used to replace radiographic with optical references.
