This script performs line detection on an image using the Hough Transform — a common technique in image processing for identifying straight lines. Kindly find below the overall working of this code:
- It starts with a binary edge image (BW, typically from edge detection like edge).
- It computes the Hough Transform to detect potential lines.
- From the transform, it selects the strongest peaks, which correspond to the most likely lines.
- These peaks are then used to extract actual line segments in the image.
- Finally, it filters and draws only those lines that are longer than a specified length on top of the original image.
Please find more details about the functions used here:

I hope this helps!
