EVALUATING THE EULER-POINCARÉ CHARACTERISTIC OF A SET USING A SPATIAL TESSELLATION

Jean-Paul Jernot, Patricia Jouannot-Chesney, Christian Lantué Joul

Abstract

A new formula is established to evaluate the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of a polyconvex subset X in Rd starting only from measurements of X in the cells of a tessellation. Simplifications occur when X is a union of cells of the tessellation, leading to another formula that unifies and extends several classical digitization results.

Keywords
tessellation; Euler-Poincaré characteristic; discretization
