Abstract
It is shown that isotropic masks can be used for the efficient detection of linear features in digital images. Early tests have shown useful performance when applied to the task of locating insects in grain. This work should also be valuable in other applications where line features have to be located, and also those where thin lines have to be tracked, such as document interpretation and PCB inspection
