Abstract

A new circle fitting algorithm is presented that generates the best circle to approximate the boundary of a given microarray spot. Here, the best approximation means, the total differential area between the circumference of the circle and the boundary of the spot is kept minimum. The center and the radius of the circle are determined to satisfy this condition. The differential area is used as a quantitative metric to represent the boundary quality of the corresponding microarray spot.
