Abstract

3D structures are obtained by a random filling of the nodes of a F.C.C. network. The density of points is increased from 0 to 1 inside a given field, the field sizes ranging from 5 x 5 x 5 to 400 x 400 x 400. For each structure, the Euler-Poincaré characteristic is measured in all the spaces (R0 to R3) and studied as a function of the field size and the field shape. The shape effect in 3D space appears as a size effect in a space of lower dimension.

Keywords : 3D image analysis, Euler-Poincaré characteristic, size effects, stereological parameters
