Hi all,

I'm hoping someone might have some insight into this problem i'm
trying to solve. Hopefully I can make my questions coherent!

The intent is pretty simple: I have a bunch of points that make up a
sphere, and I want to calculate the volume of the sphere.

The points are random and aren't in a single line that makes an edge,
so I want to see how much the the volume of the sphere changes if I
make a hull using the outer-side of the "rim" (outermost pixels)
versus using the inner-side of the it (not all the interior pixels,
but those that basically make up the inner side of the rim). I've made
a convex hull around the outer pixels, but now I basically want to
make an inner hull.

Would it be possible to place the inner pixels on the outside and the
outer pixels on the inside then just retrace a convex hull and then re-
place the pixels into their original positions? If so, does anyone
have a suggestion of how to do this? If not, does anyone have an
alternative suggestion for how to get the inner hull?

Thanks so much for the help!

Ayla
