Abstract
The Euler number and the connectivity of an arbitrary object is define d, and it is illustrated why the connectivity of an n-dimensional obje ct cannot be estimated in an ( n - 1 ) dimensional section. The disect or-principle for 3-D counting of the Euler-events is illustrated in ca ncellous bone. The correct handling for unbiased counting of events at artificial edges is outlined. A nomogram for predicting the precision of an estimate is provided.
