Before revision:   We analyze the errors that arise in the estimation of a 3D shape index from 2D imagery , and find that typically only a few dozen cells in 2D imagery are required to reduce uncertainty in the mean 3D shape index below 2\\%.
After revision:  We analyze the errors that may arise in practice in the estimation of a 3D shape index from 2D imagery , and find that typically only a few dozen cells in 2D imagery are required to reduce uncertainty in the mean 3D shape index below 2\\%.
