Linear feature such as lines and curves are one of important features in image processing. In this paper, new method of linear feature detection is suggested. Also, we have studied approximation technique which transforms detected linear feature into data structure for the practical. This method is based on graph theory and principle of this method is based on minimal spanning tree concept which is widely used in edge linking process. By postprocessing, Hairs and inconsistent line segments are removed. To approximate and describe traced linear feature, piecewise linear approximation is adapted. The algorithm is demonstrated through computer simulations.
