Searching for the Center of an Ellipse
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biedl et al.[1] first posed the problem of finding the center of a circle, starting from a point on the boundary, using a limited number of operations. We solve an open problem, presented in their work: finding the center of an ellipse. We present new algorithms for finding the center of the ellipse and provide results of experiments showing how these algorithms perform under the introduction of errors.

Numerical Simulation of the Wake Flow Behind an Ellipse using Random Vortex Method (RESEARCH NOTE)
Direct numerical simulation of the wake flow around and behind a planar ellipse using a random vortex method is presented. Fluid is considered incompressible and the aspect ratios of ellipse and the angles of attacks are varied. This geometry can be a logical prelude to the more complex geometries, but less time dependent experimental measurements are available to validate the numerical results...
متن کاملA Study on the Contact Ellipse and the Contact Pressure During the Wheel Wear through Passing the Tracks including Several Sharp Curves
Wheel wear has been a concern in the railway for several decades. Studying the form change of the wheel/rail contacts in particular railways consisting of sharp curves helps to identify the risk of severe or catastrophic wear to minimize maintenance costs in order to be competitive in the transportation business. In this paper, the wheel/rail contact was studied on the particular railways. The ...
متن کاملOn The Perimeter of an Ellipse
Let E be the ellipse with major and minor radii a and b respectively, and Pbe its perimeter, then P = lim 4 tan(p/n)(a + b + 2) Σ a2 cos2 (2k-2)Pi/n+ sin2 (2k-2)Pi/n; where n = 2m. So without considering the limit, it gives a reasonable approxi-mation for P, it means that we can choose n large enough such that the amountof error be less than any given small number. On the other hand, the form...
متن کاملSolvation Force of Ellipse-Shaped Molecules Moving in One Dimension and Confined between Two Parallel Planar Walls
The model fluids containing hard ellipses (HEs) and Gay-Berne (GB) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation, NVT ensemble. The dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. The oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against ...
متن کاملDirect Ellipse Fitting and Measuring Based on Shape Boundaries
Measuring ellipticity is an important area of computer vision systems. Most existing ellipticity measures are area based and cannot be easily applied to point sets such as extracted edges from real world images. We are interested in ellipse fitting and ellipticity measures which rely exclusively on shape boundary points which are practical in computer vision. They should also be calculated very...
