Description

Abstract We present a fast code to fit circular arcs to measured points. Our algorithm is based on an explicit solution of a non-linear least-squares problem to fit the circle curvature, direction and position parameters. The code includes error estimation of the circle parameters as well as the transformation of parameters and error matrix to another point of reference. The formalism is valid for any arc lenght up to a full circle.
