Abstract
Two classes of random distances (generated as contact distances or free path lengths) external to a stationary random closed set in Euclidean space are introduced. The censored distance distributions within bounded region are obtained. Unbiased estimators of the random distance distribution functions using only the information from inside the bounded region are constructed.
