An example you can follow:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/25157
A gear has several "diameters" - the outer one, the inner one, and
perhaps some interior diameters if there is some structure to the
gear. Which do you want? To get the outer diameter, take the convex
hull of the gear and calculate it's ECD: equivalent circular diameter
which is the diameter you get if you set the area of the convex hull
of the gear equal to the area of a circle (pi*D^2/4).
