Reconstruction of porous media

Poissonian generation of polydisperse spheres is another technique for the reconstruction of porous media (Thovert et al., 2001). This technique is useful for the reconstruction of media that result from the deposition of grains followed by their compaction, but it also allows the reconstruction of non-granular porous structures.
