Abstract

The invention concerns the calculation of genus of digital or cubic three-dimensional object (3D), said genus is the number of tunnels indicating holes such as in donates. The invention is characterized in that said method comprises a step in selecting (counting) numbers of different types of points on the boundary of the object then obtaining genus.
