Abstract: The Hilbert geometry in an open bounded convex set in ${\mathbb R}^n$ is a classical example of a projective Finsler space. We construct explicitly a positive measure on the space of lines in a polytopal Hilbert geometry which yields an integral geometric representation of Crofton type for the Holmes-Thompson area of hypersurfaces.

Classification (MSC2000): 53C60; 53C65, 52B11
