Detection of ellipses;

I need to detect ellipses for example in the attached picture. Is there any tool, which can automatically
-detect ellipses or - bring parts of curves together and merge them into ellipses? (e.g.: forms which look like ellipses should be detetected and merged into an ellipse; fitting to an ellipse)
Thank you very much in advance!

I understand that you would like to detect ellipses in the figure using a MATLAB function. While MATLAB offers "imfindcircles" and "hough", it does not have any built-in tools to detect ellipses.
You could try using the "regionprops" function to measure properties of image regions, as done in the following blog post: http://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/2015/08/17/ellipse-visualization-and-regionprops/?s_tid=srchtitle
You may also find some relevant files by searching the File Exchange. For example, the following file uses a Hough transform to detect ellipses: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/33970-ellipse-detection-using-1d-hough-transform?s_tid=srchtitle
Finally, you can find a complete list of functions in the Image Processing Toolbox at the following link in the documentation: http://www.mathworks.com/help/images/functionlist.html

Thank you very much for so many advices. I will read all of them.

This code should help.

There is a paper I'm attaching on detecting ellipses.
I have not coded it up but if you do, please attach your code here.
