Robust circle detection using a weighted mse estimator [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In this paper we introduce a novel circle detection algorithm based on a weighted minimum mean square error (MSB) formulation. Traditional approaches to circle detections consist of two stages, an edge detection stage and a circle detection stage using the edge detection result. There are several problems with this approach. First, the initial edge detection stage is sensitive to noise. Second, the second stage does not use all the information available in the image and therefore incorrect decisions made by the first stage cannot be corrected in the second stage. The proposed algorithm achieves its robustness by operating in one step, using all pixels of the image (correctly weighted) and not using any thresholds. The detected circle is the solution of several weighted MSE problems. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the algorithm in noiseless and noisy conditions. ©2004 IEEE.
