How can MATLAB determine the radius of the disk? (imagine the center is known)
I know that if the whole circle is visible, I can use imfindcircle or other methods to determine the center and radius, but I wonder whether MATLAB can determine the edge of the radius for such an image?
Thanks

Try it and see. Otherwise, just segment it and get the edge coordinates with bwboundaries() and use the FAQ to fit them to a circle or ellipse.

How to get the edge using bwboundaries?

First segment based on threshold
binaryImage = grayImage < 128; % or whatever value works.
Then get rid of small noise particles
binaryImage = bwareaopen(binaryImage, 10000);
Then call bwboundaries
boundaries = bwboundaries(binaryimage);
Then do the fit as per the FAQ.
