Hi,
I fit an ellipse (in green) to my dataset (white dots).
I'd like to project each data point on the ellipse (or shifting each data point onto the ellipse using the shortest distance). Those projections on the ellipse will form a new set of data. How can I achieve this?

if you have the ellipse and your x and y corrdinates, use the interp2() function with the 'nearest' interpolation method

Thank you. I will give it a try.

This code requires the download of trustregprob from the file exchange
function Xp=ellipseprj(Q,xc,X0)
%Projects given 2D points onto 2D ellipse
%
% Xp=ellipseprj(Q,xc,X0)
%
%IN:
%
% Q,xc: Ellipse equation matrices. Q is 2x2 and xc is 2x1 such that
% ellipse equation is (y-xc).'*Q*(y-xc)=1
% X0: 2xN matrix of points to be projected
%
%OUT:
%
% Xp: 2xN matrix of projected points
N=size(X0,2);
xc=xc(:);
[Rt,D]=eig(Q);
Rt=real(Rt); D=real(D);
iD=diag(1./diag(D));
iDsqrt=sqrt(iD);
b=-iDsqrt*Rt.'*bsxfun(@minus,xc,X0);
Yp=nan(size(X0));
for i=1:N
Yp(:,i)=trustregprob(iD,b(:,i),1);
end
Xp=bsxfun(@plus, Rt*iDsqrt*Yp,xc);

Thank you for your answer.
% Q,xc: Ellipse equation matrices. Q is 2x2 and xc is 2x1 such that
% ellipse equation is (y-xc).'*Q*(y-xc)=1
I still don't fully understand what Q and xc is.
What do you mean by ellipse equation (y-xc).'*Q*(y-xc)=1?
