Levenberg-Marquardt fit in the "full" (a,b,R) space
(perhaps the best geometric circle fit) Levenberg-Marquardt fit in the "reduced" (a,b) space (may be a little faster than above in favorable cases) Chernov-Lesort fit (designed to converge from any initial guess, but slower that the Levenberg-Marquardt) Chernov-Houssam fit (designed to converge from any initial guess; employs numerically stable formulas for large circles) Note: every geometric fit must be supplied with an initial guess. Use an algebraic fit for this purpose. We recommend Taubin fit. |
Kasa fit
(the simplest and fastest fit, but biased toward smaller circles when an incomplete arc is observed)
Pratt fit (more robust than Kasa fit, but a little slower) Taubin fit (similar to Pratt fit, but a bit faster and a bit more accurate) (perhaps the best algebraic circle fit) Hyper fit (a new fit: a combination of Pratt and Taubin fits that eliminates essential bias; the speed is the same as that of Pratt fit) | |||||
