Robust Circle Detection

In this paper we present a method of robustly detect circles in a line drawing image. The method is fast, robust and very reliable, and is capable of assessing the quality of its detection. It is based on Random Sample Consensus minimization, and uses techniques that are inspired from object tracking in image sequences. Note : some details of the illustrations in this paper are in colour. Reading them on a greylevel printout will reduce their intelligibility.
