A new local property of strong n-surfaces

Abstract In Bertrand and Malgouyres (1996), two characterizations of discrete surfaces of Z 3 are proposed which are called strong 18- surfaces and strong 26- surfaces . However, strong surfaces are defined by global properties and the question of their local characterization remains. We propose a new local characterization of those of the separating and thin objects which are strong surfaces.
