Hough lines in OpenCV/Python

I found the solution.

The code example only shows the first hough line.

In case you want to print all the hough lines on an image you have to print all lines.

This is the corrected code:

import cv2
import numpy as np

img = cv2.imread('dave.jpg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)


edges = cv2.Canny(gray,100,200,apertureSize = 3)
cv2.imshow('edges',edges)
cv2.waitKey(0)

minLineLength = 30
maxLineGap = 10
lines = cv2.HoughLinesP(edges,1,np.pi/180,15,minLineLength=minLineLength,maxLineGap=maxLineGap)
for x in range(0, len(lines)):
    for x1,y1,x2,y2 in lines[x]:
        cv2.line(img,(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(0,255,0),2)

cv2.imshow('hough',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)

A bit more elegant solution would be to use for line in lines: for x1,y1,x2,y2 in line: ...


I had faced the same problem it is because of the loop,

for x1,y1,x2,y2 in lines[0]:

it will take only the coordinates of first line. the array returned is 3d.

you can rectify it by using the following as loop:

for line in lines:
    for x1,y1,x2,y2 in line:
