We consider the multiple ellipses detection problem on the basis of a data points set coming from a number of ellipses in the plane not known in advance, whereby an ellipse is viewed as a Mahalanobis circle with center , radius , and some positive definite matrix . A very efficient method for solving this problem is proposed. The method uses a modification of the -means algorithm for Mahalanobis-circle centers. The initial approximation consists of the set of circles whose centers...
