A survey of Optimal Transport for Computer Graphics and Computer Vision

Optimal transport is a long-standing theory that has been studied in depth from both theoretical and numerical point of views. Starting the 50s this also found lot applications operational research. Over last 30 years it spread to computer vision graphics now becoming hard ignore. Still, its mathematical complexity can make difficult comprehend, as such, researchers may find follow recent developments their field related optimal transport. This survey first briefly introduces layman's terms well most common techniques solve it. More importantly, presents these various problems. involves ranging image processing, geometry rendering, fluid simulation, computational optics, many more. It aimed at desiring research willing for algorithms.
