Abstract (Summary of the Work)

In this thesis we report some new properties, observations, and algorithms on a digital circle, and their applications to the analysis of geometric information embedded in a digital image. In particular, we develop a new method of detecting the centre, radius and area of a digital circle, based on its number-theoretic interpretation in the digital space. As a sequel, this also leads to a new, efficient and superior method of approximating the value of π, compare to the existing area-based approache.
