Arc of ellipse detection for video image registration

A. Le Troter, Remy Bulot, Jean-Marc Boï, J. Sequeira · 2006

In this paper, we give a detailed presentation of a robust algorithm for detecting arcs of ellipse in a binary image. The characterization of such arcs of ellipse enables the identification between some video image elements and the corresponding landmarks in a 3D model of the scene to be represented. This algorithm is based on a classical ellipse property that enables its parameters separation. It provides interesting results even in noisy images or when these arcs are small and partially hidden.
