We consider selected geometric properties of 2D or 3D sets, given in form of binary digital pictures, and discuss their estimation. The properties examined are perimeter and area in 2D, and surface area and volume in 3D. We evaluate common estimators in stereology and digital geometry according to their multiprobe or multigrid convergence properties, and precision and efficiency of estimations....

Point count stereology is a useful tool in obtaining volumetric measures of objects in three-dimensional (3D) images when the segmentation of objects is not feasible. Presently, fixed-grid 3D stereology is being used where a 3D parallelepiped grid is randomly placed for sampling the image space in order to generate test points. Although this is a popular technique, the use of a fixed grid intro...

An International Stereology course approved by the International Society for Stereology. This course will provide participants with a practical introduction to recent advances in stereology. There will be ample opportunity for discussion between participants and the experienced instructors on specific stereological problems related to the participants’ own projects. Particular emphasis will be ...

We have lost one of the greatest founders modern stereology: Hans Jørgen Gottlieb Gundersen.
