I would measure the total number of pixels from the shot grouping. Make a maximal circle and decrease the circle diameter while measuring the shot grouping at each diameter. You could use something like

run("Select All");
run("Fit Circle");
run("Enlarge...", "enlarge=-25");
measure

The value -25 depends on the size of your image and how accurate the measurement has to be. You could do this till the value is < 95% and then enlarge with smaller numbers till the value has become >95% again.

Best wishes

Subject: How to analyse a pattern of holes?

Hi guys. I'm doing my MSc thesis and I'm using ImageJ software to look at measuring shotgun spread patterns. Basically, I have a white paper target that I've photographed and I know the dimensions of the paper. Setting the scale is easy :)

what I need to know is how can I use ImageJ to draw a circle of best fit around my shot grouping? I need to analyse it with image software rather than using my own interpretation, so if I could find a method that accounts for 95%> of my spread pattern and then fits a circle of best fit to it then that'd be perfect :)

Could anyone tell me how to do this please?
