Abstract

This chapter considers shape models which are retrieved from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of real dust particles. These models describe the real shape of the particle as measured from the images with automated image processing techniques. A general description of methods for retrieving the shape from SEM stereo images is provided together with our own developments based on dense image matching techniques. Light scattering results using the realistic shape models are presented and compared with those obtained using simplified mathematical shape models such as spheres, spheroids, and Gaussian random spheres. The impact of surface roughness on light scattering is addressed and ideas for further improvement of the shape retrieval algorithms in view of the light scattering computations are discussed.
