-\f$\votes\f$ is the value of accumulator.
+\f$\textrm{votes}\f$ is the value of accumulator.
 @param rho Distance resolution of the accumulator in pixels.
 @param theta Angle resolution of the accumulator in radians.
 @param threshold Accumulator threshold parameter. Only those lines are returned that get enough
