Macro to avoid internal circles ( Hough transform detection )

[peppetin]

Hello guys,

I am performing a circles detection with Hough transformation and it could be so accurate . Now I have a problem dealing with detected small circles inside a bigger circle .  
Bigger circle detection is perfect but all the circles inside are fake so I'd like to run a macro that should be deleted internal circles once a bigger circle has been detected .
Could you give any advices and ideas ?

I'm not sure if you also want to deal with intersecting circles, but
this page might be helpful:

Another thought might be to set a threshold to avoid the small
circles.
