The mean density of a random closed set $\Theta$ in $\R^d$ with Hausdorff dimension $n$ is the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the expected measure $\E[\h^n(\Theta\cap\cdot)]$ induced by $\Theta$ with respect to the usual $d$-dimensional…
Minkowski tensors, also known as tensor valuations, provide robust $n$-point information for a wide range of random spatial structures. Local estimators for point clouds, e.g., representing voxelized data, however, are unavoidably biased…
We apply the Minkowski Tensor statistics to two dimensional slices of the three dimensional density field. The Minkowski Tensors are a set of functions that are sensitive to directionally dependent signals in the data, and furthermore can…

The union of the particles of a stationary Poisson process of compact (convex) sets in Euclidean space is called Boolean model and is a classical topic of stochastic geometry. In this paper, Boolean models in hyperbolic space are…
The local Minkowski tensors are valuations on the space of convex bodies in Euclidean space with values in a space of tensor measures. They generalize at the same time the intrinsic volumes, the curvature measures and the isometry covariant…
We study the Poisson Boolean model where the grains are random convex bodies with a rotation-invariant distribution. We say that a grain distribution is dense if the union of the grains covers the entire space and robust if the union of the…
We apply the Minkowski tensor statistics to three dimensional Gaussian random fields. Minkowski tensors contain information regarding the orientation and shape of excursion sets, that is not present in the scalar Minkowski functionals. They…
Confinement can substantially alter the physicochemical properties of materials by breaking translational isotropy and rendering all physical properties position-dependent. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have proven instrumental in…
The Minkowski tensors are the natural tensor-valued generalizations of the intrinsic volumes of convex bodies. We prove two complete sets of integral geometric formulae, so called kinematic and Crofton formulae, for these Minkowski tensors.…
