c++, opecv: HoughLines() doesn't receive the values passed by trackbars - c++

Question

I'm supposed to detect the two white lines of the road with the function HoughLines. I use three trackbars in order to find the best parameters to detect ONLY the two white lines of the road. I have tried this: (the problem is that it looks like even if I change the values of the trackbars it doesn't updates the images, it is still at the first values). I'm using opencv with c++.
Without trackbars it works, but it's almost impossibile finding good values without it because I don't know how to tune the parameters and the image is pretty complex.

using namespace std;
const int kernel_size = 3;
Mat src, src_gray;
Mat dst, detected_edges;
Mat cdst;
int slider_value_one;
int slider_value_two;
int slider_value_three;
vector<Vec2f> lines; // will hold the results of the detection
static void Hough_transform(int, void*)
{
// Standard Hough Line Transform
HoughLines(detected_edges, lines, 1, CV_PI/180, 130,slider_value_one,slider_value_two); // runs the actual detectio
// Draw the lines
for( size_t i = 0; i < lines.size(); i++ )
{
float rho = lines[i][0], theta = lines[i][1];
Point pt1, pt2;
double a = cos(theta), b = sin(theta);
double x0 = a*rho, y0 = b*rho;
pt1.x = cvRound(x0 + 1000*(-b));
pt1.y = cvRound(y0 + 1000*(a));
pt2.x = cvRound(x0 - 1000*(-b));
pt2.y = cvRound(y0 - 1000*(a));
line( cdst, pt1, pt2, Scalar(0,0,255), 3, CV_AA);
}
//printing
imshow("standard Hough Line Transform", cdst);
}//HoughTransform
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
//-----Loads an image
src = imread("/Users/massimilianolorenzin/Documents/Progetti\ XCode/lab4/lab4/lab4/images/road2.png");
/// ---- CANNY DETECTOR
/// Convert the image to grayscale
cvtColor( src, src_gray, CV_BGR2GRAY);
/// Reduce noise with a kernel 3x3
blur( src_gray, detected_edges, Size(3,3) );
/// Canny detector
Canny( detected_edges, detected_edges, 150, 450, kernel_size );
// Copy edges to the images that will display the results in BGR
cvtColor(detected_edges, cdst, COLOR_GRAY2BGR);
/// ---- HOUGH LINE TRANSFORM
namedWindow("standard Hough Line Transform"); // Create Window
//first TrackBar
createTrackbar( "First Par", "standard Hough Line Transform", &slider_value_one, 200, Hough_transform);
Hough_transform(slider_value_one,0 );
//second TrackBar
createTrackbar( "Second Par", "standard Hough Line Transform", &slider_value_two, 100, Hough_transform);
Hough_transform(slider_value_two, 0 );
//third TrackBar
createTrackbar( "Third Par", "standard Hough Line Transform", &slider_value_three, 100, Hough_transform);
Hough_transform( slider_value_three, 0 );
//printing
imshow("Input Image",src);
imshow( "edges", detected_edges );
waitKey(0);
return 0;
HoughLines() looks doesn't answer at the values set with the trackbars. The window appear normally, slider_value_one, slider_value_two, slider_value_three have the right values because I printed and i saw them, so I don't understand why HoughLines() doesn't take the passed values.

enter image description here
Above there is the input image, while below there is the final ouput. I am asked, in this step, just to create the two lines to the side of the road, coloring the area between the two lines( like in the photo) is requested in the next step.
