Figure 10

Simulating objects with varying geometrical parameters. A shows the volume normalized to the corresponding Vsum determined by the boundary delimitation algorithm (BDA, blue crosses) and via thresholding (red dots) when simulating the height of the processes as h r z with Δh = 0.01. The stepwise decrease vanishes when the resolution increases (red cross-hairs). B shows the impact of the width of the processes by simulating their widths as w 2 r y . Note that only the results for the BDA are shown. C and D show the volume normalized to the corresponding Vsum when simulating objects with changing the processes' height (as in A) and the radii of the half-ellipsoid as r x = r y = t1/2 r0 and r z = 1/t r0. The color coded area in the bottom indicates Vn corresponding to the color bar plotted between C and D. C shows the results for the BDA, D for thresholding. The corresponding steps of the parameters were Δh = 0.01 and Δt = 0.05.
