public class FitEllipseAlgebraic_F32
extends Object

Fits an ellipse to a set of points in "closed form" by minimizing algebraic least-squares error. The method used is described in [1] and is a repartitioning of the solution describe in [2], with the aim of improving numerical stability. The found ellipse is described using 6 coefficients, as is shown below. F(x,y) = a*x^2 + 2*b*x*y + c*y^2 + 2*d*x + 2*e*y + f = 0 and b^2 - 4*ac < 0

One peculiarity of this algorithm is that it's less stable when perfect data is provided. This instability became evident when constructing unit tests and some of them failed. Tests on the original Matlab code also failed.
