Basic properties of finite subsets of the integer lattice Z are investigated from the point of view of geometric tomography. Results obtained concern the Minkowski addition of convex lattice sets and polyominoes, discrete X-rays and the discrete and continuous covariogram, the determination of symmetric convex lattice sets from the cardinality of their projections on hyperplanes, and a discrete...

Given two solids A and B with piecewise smooth boundary we discuss the computation of the boundary Γ of the Minkowski sum A + B. This boundary surface Γ is part of the envelope when B is moved by translations defined by vectors a ∈ A, or vice versa. We present an efficient algorithm working for dense point clouds or for triangular meshes. Besides this, the global self intersections of the bound...
