From: Soka Lim on 21 Dec 2009 04:16 Hello, I have a 3D image (200× 200× 400 pixels) which contains randomly distributed spheres (of known diameter). I would like to know the average coordination no of this system. Can anyone suggest me, how to proceed ? Thanks for reading, Regards, soka

Than calculate the MEAN of all coordinates, which contain pixels belonging to the spheres. Kind regards, Jan

As we know for simple cubic, the coordination no is 6. But due to random distribution over the space, it must change. What would be the average coordination no of this particular case. Thanks again & awaiting for kind response. Regards, Soka

I'm still lost. Please define "coordination no". The hint, that it is 6 for a cube is not sufficient (perhaps only for me). Kind regards, Jan
