This study introduces a novel method for estimating multiple radii and distorted circular contours in digital images. The approach enhances circle detection for complex shapes and multiple objects.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Image Processing
  • Computer Vision
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Accurate detection of circular features is crucial in various digital image processing applications.
  • Existing methods like subspace-based line detection (SLIDE) primarily focus on single circle estimation.
  • Challenges remain in detecting multiple, non-concentric circles and distorted circular contours.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for estimating multiple radii of circular features.
  • To extend circle estimation techniques for retrieving circular-like distorted contours.
  • To provide a robust approach for segmenting free-form objects and detecting multiple non-concentric circles and rotated ellipses.

Main Methods:

  • A new model for virtual signal generation simulating a circular antenna is developed.

  • Circle center estimation utilizes the subspace-based line detection (SLIDE) method.
  • Radius estimation employs a high-resolution method based on variable speed propagation and linear phase signals.
  • Free-form object segmentation is achieved using gradient methods or a combination of dividing rectangles and spline interpolation.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully estimates multiple radii and retrieves distorted circular contours.
    • Performance is validated against established methods including least-squares, Hough transform, and gradient vector flow.
    • The approach demonstrates effectiveness on both synthetic and real-world image data.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel method significantly advances circular feature detection in digital images.
    • It offers a robust solution for segmenting complex shapes and identifying multiple circular and elliptical objects.
    • This work provides a valuable tool for applications requiring precise geometric feature extraction.
