The solution of the covariogram problem for plane C2+ convex bodies

Gabriele Bianchi, Fausto Segala & Aljosa Volcic

Abstract:

We prove that the geometric covariogram determines (up to translation and reflection), among all convex bodies, any plane convex body which is ${\Cal C}^2$ and has positive curvature everywhere. This gives a partial answer to a problem posed by G. Matheron.
