>From your description and the figure, I've attached a PDF of what I believe your object looks like from above. If that is the case then the volume is the sum of the volumes of the middle (M), the curved sides (S), and the corners (C).
The volume of the middle would be L*L*h where h is the height from the image. The volume of the sides would be L*A_s where A_s is the area of the end of your image where the corners start. If you relocate the corners, they form a solid of revolution. You can calculate that from the height of the profile in the image h(r) and integration. --Chris On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 8:16 AM, Edvardsen Kåre <[email protected]> wrote: > Before spending effort unnecessary, I wonder if there is any simple way to > calculate the volume of an object by analyzing a picture of it? > > > > Attached pdf show the shape. > > > > Cheers, > > Kåre > > > > Dr. Kåre Edvardsen > > Associate Professor > > Dep. of Scientific Engineering and Safety > > University of Tromsø > > [email protected] > > +47 77 66 02 69 > > +47 90 74 60 69 > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Perldl mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl >
