+
+Consider a square centered around a grid point with side lengths
$\sqrt{\delta}$. As $\delta$ goes to zero, the size of this square will
go to zero. Inside this square we can fit a square of $\lfloor 1 /
\sqrt{\delta} \rfloor^2$ grid points. This means that the number of
grid points along the outer edge of this square $\lfloor 1 /
-\sqrt{\delta} \rfloor$ goes to infinity. For each grid point around at
-the boundary of this square, we include a grid point having the same
-angle $\phi$ to the $x$-axis as shown in Figure \fixme{ref}. The maximal
-$\Delta \phi$ will then be between the horizontal or vertical edge and
-its neighbors
+\sqrt{\delta} \rfloor$ goes to infinity. For each grid point along
+the outer edge of this square, we include in our neighborhood a grid point
+having the same angle $\phi$ to the $x$-axis. This means either
+including the actual grid point at the outer edge, or one having the
+same angle, just closer to the center. This construction can be
+seen in Figure \ref{fig:square_cons}.
+The maximal $\Delta \phi$ will then be between the
+horizontal or vertical edge and its neighbors, shown in Figure
+\ref{fig:square_cons} as angle $a$. These angles can be calculated to be
\begin{equation}
\sup \Delta \phi = \arctan \frac{\delta}{\sfrac{\lfloor \sqrt{\delta}
\rfloor}{2}} \leq \arctan \frac{\delta}{\sfrac{\sqrt{\delta}}{2} -
\sup \Delta \rho \leq \frac{\delta^2}{\delta} = \delta \to 0.
\end{equation}
-The edge length is bounded from above by $\sqrt{2} \delta$ and will also
-go to zero. Thus for a given curve $C$, our simplification of only
-counting an intersection between $e$ and $C$ when $C$ crosses $e$ an odd
-number of times becomes increasingly correct.
+Since all edges are inside our square, the edge length is bounded from
+above by $\sqrt{2} \delta$ and will also go to zero. Thus for a given
+curve $C$, our simplification of only counting an intersection between
+$e$ and $C$ when $C$ crosses $e$ an odd number of times becomes
+increasingly correct.
Further it is obvious that our tensor approximation in
\eqref{eq:tensor_approx} converges to the tensor in the intersection
point when the edge length $\norm{e_{ab}}$ goes to zero.
-And thus... the perimeter approximation in \eqref{eq:per_approx1} is
-consistent with the continuous formulation in Theorem
-\ref{thm:riemannian_cauchy_crofton}
+To see that this is enough to give a consistent discretization of our
+integral, we write the approximation as follows
+\begin{equation}
+ \begin{aligned}
+ \abs{C}_M &=
+ \int_\nu \int_\rho \sum_{x \in \ell_{\nu, \rho} \cap C}
+ \, \frac{\det M(x)}{2\left(\nu^T
+ \cdot M(x) \cdot \nu\right)^{\sfrac{3}{2}}} \, d\rho \, d\nu \\
+ &\approx \sum_\nu \sum_\rho \sum_{e_{\nu, \rho} \cap C}
+ \, \frac{\det M(e_{\nu, \rho}) \norm{e_{\nu, \rho}}^3}{2\left(
+ e_{\nu, \rho}^T \cdot M(e_{\nu, \rho}) \cdot e_{\nu, \rho}
+ \right)^{\sfrac{3}{2}}} \, \Delta \rho \, \Delta \nu.
+\end{aligned}
+\end{equation}
+As $\Delta \rho$ is constant for all lines in one family, we can regard
+the discretization in the $\rho$ dimension as a midpoint rule
+approximation, as shown in Figure \ref{fig:line_midpoint}.
+
+\begin{figure}
+ \input{fig/line_midpoint}
+\end{figure}
+
+For the $\phi$ dimension (or $\nu$ equivalently), we chose to show that
+the difference between the angle parameter of one line family and the
+next $\Delta \phi$ goes to zero. As shown in Figure \ref{fig:circ_rule},
+the discretization of $\phi$ can also be regarded as a so-called
+\emph{rectangle method} approximation of the integral, although not the
+midpoint rule. The summand is evaluated in the end point of the angle
+interval $[\phi_k, \phi_{k+1}]$, where $\Delta \phi_k = \phi_{k+1} -
+\phi_k$.
+
+\begin{figure}
+ \input{fig/circ_rule}
+\end{figure}
+
+And thus the approximation has been shown to be equivalent to
+well-known, and consistent integral approximations, so the perimeter
+approximation in \eqref{eq:per_approx1} is consistent with the
+continuous formulation in Theorem \ref{thm:riemannian_cauchy_crofton}.
+
+Note that as we will work with digital images with fixed resolutions, we
+do not really have the chance to refine our discretization. We do
+however have to take these things into account when creating our
+neighborhood stencil, to make sure that we get a reasonable
+approximation of the perimeter lengths.
+
+\fixme{we did not really state that we have arrived at our final
+discretization, and that the rest will be about the solution}
