Hello,

I am doing research related to OpenCV, and I was wondering which algorithm is used in minEnclosingCircle function. The documentation mentions an "iterative algorithm", but there are no additional resources. I have been going through the code in GitHub, but I can't find any clear characteristics of any specific algorithm. The closest one I have found is the one described by Elzinga and Hearn in http://ise.tamu.edu/people/faculty/gaukler/601/Elzinga-Hearn.pdf

I would greatly appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction. Thanks!
