Topological characterization of microstructures from 3D digitized voxel data

► Accurate, robust method to characterize topology of digitized cellular structures. ► Topology is the faces, edges and vertices of each cell and their connectivity. ► Euler's rules and force balance are used to formulate a robust algorithm. ► Highly efficient for parallelizing across numerous processors. ► The topology of a Potts model simulation of grain growth is presented.
