Abstract(in English) Assuming the planar 4-connectivity and the spatial 6-connectivity, we first introduce the curvature indexes of the boundary of a discrete object, and using these indices of points, we define the vertex angles of discrete surfaces as an extension of the chain codes of digital curves. Second, we prove the relation between the number of points indices and the numbers of holes, genus, and cavities of an object. Third, we define quasi-objects as the connected simplexes. Geometric relations between discrete quasi-objects and discrete objects prermit us to define the Euler characteristic for the planar 8-connected, and the spatial 18- and 26- connected objects using these for the planar 4-connected and the spatial 6-connected objects. Our results show that the planar 4-connectivity and the spatial 6-connectivity define the Euler characteristics of point sets in the discrete space.
