Applies the Hough transform to an image. For every input band, outputs a band where lines are detected by thresholding the Hough transform with a value of lineThreshold. The output band is named [input]_lines, where [input] is the name of the original band. The defaults provided for the parameters are intended as a starting point for use with UINT8 images.
