Abstract

Three different stereological methods for the determination of second-order quantities of planar fibre processes which have been suggested in the literature are considered. Proofs of the formulae are given (also by using a new integral geometric formula), relations between the methods are derived and the prerequisites are discussed. Furthermore, edge-corrected unbiased estimators for the second-order quantities are given.
