text: This thesis is concerned with the computation and approximation of intrinsic
volumes. Given a smooth body M and a certain digital approximation of it, we develop
algorithms to approximate various intrinsic volumes of M using only measurements
taken from its digital approximations. The crucial idea behind our novel algorithms
is to link the recent theory of persistent homology to the theory of intrinsic
volumes via the Crofton formula from integral geometry and, in particular, via
Euler characteristic computations. Our main contributions are a multigrid convergent
digital algorithm to compute the first intrinsic volume of a solid body in R^n
as well as an appropriate integration pipeline to approximate integral-geometric
integrals defined over the Grassmannian manifold.
