To address this issue, we extend to a stochastic setting a surface representation by currents (Glaunès and Vaillant, 2005). This extension is inspired from the theory of generalized stochastic processes due to It\^o (1954) and Gelfand and Vilenkin (1964). It consists of random linear forms defined on a space of vector fields. Upon this representation, we build a probabilistic model that allows us to describe the random variability of current-based representations of surfaces. For this model, we then propose estimators of a mean representant of a surface population, and the population variance. Finally, we establish the consistency of these estimators. %G English %L hal-01270046 %U https://hal.science/hal-01270046 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014-
