Original abstract
We introduce a new conic fitting algorithm using Geometric Algebra for Conics (GAC) that not only minimises the overall distance to a data set, but also causes the fitted conic to pass through prescribed waypoints. Moreover, the expression for points at infinity (also called improper points) in terms of GAC is derived; hence, the use of the improper waypoints in the conic fitting problem is enabled. Finally, a MATLAB implementation of the fitting algorithm and experimental results based on custom data sets are included.
