Study of digital plane segments (dps) is fundamental to three dimensional digital geometry. In this paper we present an optimal algorithm to characterize a given set S of 3-D digital points as a dps and to construct its upper supporting plane. We have also formulated a number of area estimators for dps's and have measured their performances analytically and experimentally.
