Circle Fit Example

Solved!
Go to solution

Has anyone seen any good examples of fitting to a circle?

To make things clear:

Given a set of x,y points, return the centre and radius of a circle which best fits the data.

 

Many Thanks

There's a VI called "Fitting on a Sphere VI" that can do what you want. You just need to use a value of zero for Z data points.

Did you do a Web search?  A number of algorithms are out there -- pick one that seems appropriate for your data set.

Yea I did spot this and tried exactly what you said with no success. Then I looked again and realised I messed up. (Forgot about the displayed precision!)

.. yeah ...

 

Thanks though!

Since you are interested in a LabVIEW solution, a forum search here would have immediately found many example of James's suggestion above.

 

For example look here
