Abstract(in English) We summarize the following techniques for fitting an ellipse to a point sequence extracted from an image: "least squares" and its update by "iterative reweight", the "Taubin method" and its iterative update by "renormalization", "HyperLS" and its iterative update by "hyper-renormalization", "maximum likelihood (ML)" which minimize the reprojection error and its a posteriori "hyperaccurate correction". We experimentally compare their accuracy and show the following: 1. Newly proposed hyper-renormalization is more accurate than ML, which has been widely regarded as the most accurate. 2. The most accurate is the hyperaccurate correction of ML, but the difference from hyper-renormalization is very small. 3. While iterations for computing ML may not always converge in the presence of large noise, Hyper-renormalization is more robust that ML. From these, we conclude that hyper-renormalization is the best method in practical situations.
