Abstract

The structures considered in the present paper are the realisation of a stationary ergodic random set and the problem is to estimate their specific Euler-Poincaré characteristic. The estimator proposed here leads to unbiased results whatever the space dimension. It has been tested on a 3D face centred cubic Bernoulli grid with densities ranging from 0 to 1. Moreover, the variance of this estimator has been calculated experimentally for every dimension and for all possible densities. With a large number of fields (~l0000), these experimental results fit the theoretical curves calculated for 0, 1 and 2D spaces.
