How to get the volume of a 3D concave shape?

Hi smart guys,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to get the volume of a 3D concave shape? The Matlab build-in function can only calculate the volume of a convex shape. For example,
[K, V] = convhulln(shape.vertices);
V is the volume. Here the shape is defined by a mesh with vertices and faces.
Thanks very much.
Best, Aaronne.

I would recommend voxelizing it and then just summing the resulting three dimensional volumetric image. There are a few utilities on the FEX that do this:

If you have a 3D image, one way is to just add up all the voxels in the 3D image. It gets more complicated if you don't want a stack of cubes (like a voxelized image) and you want a volume defined by triangulation. And I'm not sure the volume difference would be very significant. Exactly what is the form of the data you are starting with? Do you have a list of (x,y,z) locations for every quantized point in the volume? Or do you only have a few vertices that are scattered around?

Not automagically. You could try the file exchange. In 3D you could use the delaunay() function and sum up the volumes of all the tetrahedrons.
The volume of a tetrahedron is, in pseudo-code:
V = 1/6 *|det(V1,V2,V3)|
with
V1 := P2-P1
V2 := P3-P2
V3 := P4-P3

Judging by the shape.vertices, I was dangerously assuming there would also be a faces or connectivities matrix as well.
