%0 Journal Article %T Approximate Fitting of Circular Arcs when Two Points are Known %A Alexander Gribov %J Computer Science %D 2015 %I arXiv %X The task of approximation of points with circular arcs is performed in many applications, such as polyline compression, noise filtering, and feature recognition. However, development of algorithms that perform a significant amount of circular arcs fitting require an efficient way of fitting circular arcs with complexity O(1). The elegant solution to this task based on an eigenvector problem for a square nonsymmetrical matrix is described in [1]. For the compression algorithm described in [2], it is necessary to solve this task when two points on the arc are known. This paper describes a different approach to efficiently fitting the arcs and solves the task when one or two points are known. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.06582v2
