Hi,
I've been trying to find the curvature radius of my data set.
x1=[x1(1) x1(2)....]
Anyone can tag a thread. Tags are

public and visible to everyone.
y1=[y1(1) y1(2)....]
x1 is just numbers, and the interval between x1(i) and x1(i+1) is constant
like x1= [1 3 5 7...]. dx1=2
y1 is a vector (y coordinate of x1) which are variables.
what I did (for getting curvature radius for each point) is as follows.
suppose we wanna get curvature at x1(2)
k1=(y1(3)-y1(1))/dx1 -> 1st derivative
k2=((y1(3)-y1(2))/dx1-(y1(2)-y1(1))/dx1)/dx1 -> 2nd derivative
r= (1+k2^2)^(3/2)/abs(k2)
In this way, I could get r in term of y1(1), y1(2), and y1(3).

My problem is as follows.
If I change dx1 value, then I will get totally different function for the curvature radius r.
I don't know how to resolve this scaling problem.
Is there any way to resolve this problem?
p.s.
When I used one of the other methods for getting 'r' with using solving the least square problem, it
didn't calculate r correctly from the first place. I don't know why...

---------You should not be surprised that rescaling x without rescaling y by the same factor will make
changes on the radius which are disproportionate. If you perform the same rescaling on both x and y
values, the radius would also be rescaled in the same way, but if they are rescaled differently the
center of curvature will be displaced and the radius altered in a more complicated way than could be
accounted for by any kind of rescaling.
I would think you would be happier drawing the unique circle through the three points to determine
the radius of curvature. You can find the center of curvature at the intersection of the two
perpendicular bisectors of segments P1P2 and P2P3 where P1 = (x1(1),y1(1)), P2 = (x1(2),y1(2)),
and P3 = (x1(3),y1(3)). From there you can find the radius. Matlab is good at solving such a problem.
I see a couple of errors in your formulas. For k1 you should have
k1=(y1(3)-y1(1))/(2*dx1)
For r you should have
r= (1+k1^2)^(3/2)/abs(k2)

Thanks, Roger.
Could you be more specific about the method you mentioned?
Is the method same as what you mentioned in "curvature and radius of curvature of a plane" by using
the code below?
mx = mean(x); my = mean(y)
X = x - mx; Y = y - my; % Get differences from means
dx2 = mean(X.^2); dy2 = mean(Y.^2); % Get variances
t = [X,Y]\(X.^2-dx2+Y.^2-dy2)/2; % Solve least mean squares problem
a0 = t(1); b0 = t(2); % t is the 2 x 1 solution array [a0;b0]
r = sqrt(dx2+dy2+a0^2+b0^2); % Calculate the radius
a = a0 + mx; b = b0 + my; % Locate the circle's center
curv = 1/r; % Get the curvature
I used this code, but it didn't work. I don't the exact reason. I just guess it's because the r is including
variables. In my actual code, the follows is my "flow".
1) Get r in term of y variables
2) Get f(r)
3) find the set of y, which makes f(r) minimize.
Or, the method that you mentioned is different from what we mentioned in "curvature and radius of
curvature of a plane"?

---------The method you referred to that I wrote in July of 2007 in the thread "curvature and radius of
curvature of a plane" was actually intended for finding a least squares fit to a circle for a large number
of points. However when applied to just three points it does give the center and radius of the precise
circle that runs through those three points. I have just successfully tested it this evening for a number
of randomly placed triplets of points.
However it is a rather cumbersome method of finding the circle for only three points. Below is a
somewhat more direct way of solving the three-point problem. Let the three points be (x1,y1), (x2,y2),
and (x3,y3).
t1 = x3^2-x2^2+y3^2-y2^2;
t2 = x1^2-x3^2+y1^2-y3^2;
t3 = x2^2-x1^2+y2^2-y1^2;
d = x1*y2-x2*y1+x2*y3-x3*y2+x3*y1-x1*y3;
a = 1/2*(t1*y1+t2*y2+t3*y3)/d;
b = -1/2*(t1*x1+t2*x2+t3*x3)/d;
Then (a,b) will be the center of a circle running through the three points. I have tested this one too
and it gives the same answer as the first method. In both methods the distances from (a,b) to the
three points are all equal (allowing for round off error.)
6/20
9/21/2014
You say about the first method that "it didn't work". I challenge you to try both of these methods on
some point triplets and see if they don't actually find points which are equidistant from the three points
in every case. If you find an example that fails, please show me the three points. Of course the three
points must not be colinear, since their curvature would then be zero and no solution would be
possible.

----------I should have mentioned that finding the circle through the three points is simply the problem of
finding the circumscribed circle about a triangle with the three points as vertices. The radius of such a
circle by a well-known formula is the product of the three sides divided by four times the area of the
triangle.

Thanks, Roger
Here I attached the code below.
In this case, r is not what we expected in the sense that:
1) we cannot see the first peak at around 0.2*10^-3
2) the height of peaks is different (getting bigger) which should be equal in principle.
3) If you change dx, dx1 you will see different pattern, which means r is sensitive to dx and dx1.

----------If the above is the code you actually used, you might have seen some strange results. Notice that for
1 < j < 21, k2(1) and k3(1) remain unchanged from the values they had at j = 1. I am sure this is not
what you intended. Didn't you mean this:?
k1(1)=x1(j-1);
k2(1)=x1(j);
k3(1)=x1(j+1);
Just for the "record", for finding both a circle's center and radius the following requires fewer
operations than the code I gave earlier. Again the three given points on the circle are (x1,y1), (x2,y2),
and (x3,y3).
x21 = x2-x1; y21 = y2-y1;
x31 = x3-x1; y31 = y3-y1;
h21 = x21^2+y21^2; h31 = x31^2+y31^2;
d = 2*(x21*y31-x31*y21);
a = x1+(h21*y31-h31*y21)/d;
b = y1-(h21*x31-h31*x21)/d;
r = sqrt(h21*h31*((x3-x2)^2+(y3-y2)^2))/abs(d);
The circle's center is at (a,b) and its radius is r.

Thanks Roger,
I am having same kind of problems that I asked before.
Now, a curve is given. say, y=5.05*10.^-8*sin(10.^4*x)+0.4302*10.^-6
I hope to get same curvature radius, r graph even if I change dx scale.
I attach my code for that. (which is rough.)
In the code below, I set 4 different x intervals, and got the r graph.
The curvature radius is denpending on dx. (which I don't want to get)
Even if I tried the vector calculus that you taught me,
(by finding the radius of a circle which includes 3 given points, with vector calculus)
r is still depending on dx.

In the fixed region, I hope to get the same r graph even when dx is different.
Could you help me out with this?

for 1 < j < 21, k2(1) and k3(1) remain unchanged from the values they had at j = 1. I am sure this is
not what you intended. Didn't you mean this:?
