Hough transform is a popular low-level computer vision algorithm. Its computationally effective modification, Fast Hough transform (FHT), makes use of special subsets of image matrix to approximate geometric lines on it. Because of their special structure, these subset are called dyadic patterns. In this paper various properties of dyadic patterns are investigated. Exact upper bounds on approximation error are derived. In a simplest case, this error proves to be equal to 61log(n) for n×n sized images, as was conjectured previously by Goetz et al.
