PT Unknown AU Mohammad Rouhani Angel Sappa TI A Fast accurate Implicit Polynomial Fitting Approach BT 17th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing PY 2010 BP 1429–1432 DI 10.1109/ICIP.2010.5654043 AB This paper presents a novel hybrid approach that combines state of the art fitting algorithms: algebraic-based and geometric-based. It consists of two steps; first, the 3L algorithm is used as an initialization and then, the obtained result, is improved through a geometric approach. The adopted geometric approach is based on a distance estimation that avoids costly search for the real orthogonal distance. Experimental results are presented as well as quantitative comparisons. ER
