As I recall, about 6 months ago when we discussed these very same images of two overlapping ellipses (and a week or two ago also), we never came up with an answer. It will/would be a very ad hoc, customized solution. I suggest you research sections 12 or 13.6 here http://iris.usc.edu/Vision-Notes/bibliography/contents.html
