fitting contours with ellipse [message #69347]

Hello everyone!

I have several contour maps and I'd like to have a more quantitative
way of describing how 'peaked' or 'boxy/circular' they are. I was
thinking of doing this by fitting an ellipse to the contours and
examining best fit parameters. People have done this for blobs before
(see http://www.dfanning.com/ip_tips/fit_ellipse.html) but I'm not so
sure how to go about it for contours. Do you all have any ideas?
Thanks!
