Modeling and Simulation of Random Shapes by Sculptured Wraparound: Preliminary Report

Abstract

Physical objects with boundaries that are irregular-random shapes- occur in profusion in the natural world. Simple mathematical models for random shapes are described. The models are generated by 'adding' a random process to a deterministic shape. Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes are generalized to allow innovation having symmetric stable laws.
