Automatically select parameters of Hough Line Transform with OpenCV

Question

I'm using the Hough lines transform to detect straight lines on an edges image:

lines = cv2.HoughLinesP(edge_image, rho, theta, threshold, minLineLength, maxLineGap)

However all the parameters wildly depend on the image being used.

Is there a way to automatically select "optimal" parameters for a given image, based on its properties?

The edges were previously found using cv2.Canny.

Thanks in advance
