Abstract
In the preceding chapter, methods were discussed for predicting the distribution of intercepts that a random probe would make with objects in a three-dimensional space. This kind of modeling can be done using either line or plane probes. With line probes the length of the intersection can be measured, and with plane probes the area as well as the shape of the intersection can in principle be determined. This approach requires making several assumptions: the size and shape of the objects being sampled must be known, and the probes must be isotropic, uniform and random with respect to the objects.
