## Abstract (arXiv)

We propose an alternative formulation of the well-known Hough transform to detect lines in point clouds. Replacing the discretized voting scheme of the classical Hough transform by a continuous score function, its persistent features in the sense of persistent homology give a set of candidate lines. We also devise and implement an algorithm to efficiently compute these candidate lines.
