An example using the fitEllipse technique

/********************************************************************************
 *
 *
 *  This program is demonstration for ellipse fitting. Program finds
 *  contours and approximate it by ellipses using three methods.
 *  1: OpenCV's original method fitEllipse which implements Fitzgibbon 1995 method.
 *  2: The Approximate Mean Square (AMS) method fitEllipseAMS  proposed by Taubin 1991
 *  3: The Direct least square (Direct) method fitEllipseDirect proposed by Fitzgibbon1999.
 *
 *  Trackbar specify threshold parameter.
 *
 *  White lines is contours/input points and the true ellipse used to generate the data.
 *  1: Blue lines is fitting ellipses using openCV's original method.
 *  2: Green lines is fitting ellipses using the AMS method.
 *  3: Red lines is fitting ellipses using the Direct method.
