Abstract

We describe an efficient procedure for detecting approximate circles and approximately circular arcs of varying gray levels in an edge-enhanced digitized picture. This procedure is an extension and improvement of the circle-finding concept sketched by Duda and Hart [2] as an extension of the Hough straight-line finder [6].
