Posture-invariant statistical shape analysis using Laplace operator
Statistical shape analysis is a tool that allows to quantify the shape variability of a population of shapes. Traditional tools to perform statistical shape analysis compute variations that reflect both shape and posture changes simultaneously. In many applications, such as ergonomic design applications, we are only interested in shape variations. With traditional tools, it is not straightforwa...
متن کاملShape-based Transfer Function Using Laplace-Beltrami Operator
We exploit the Laplace-Beltrami operator to represent shapes which in turn is used for designing a shape based transfer function for volume rendering. Laplace-Beltrami spectral measures are isometry invariant and are one of the most powerful ways to represent shape, also called “Shape-DNA”. Isosurfaces are extracted from the volume data and the Laplace-Beltrami operator is applied on these extr...
متن کاملThe conformally invariant Laplace-Beltrami operator and factor ordering
In quantum mechanics the kinetic energy term for a single particle is usually written in the form of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This operator is a factor ordering of the classical kinetic energy. We investigate other relatively simple factor orderings and show that the only other solution for a conformally flat metric is the conformally invariant Laplace-Beltrami operator. For non-conformal...
متن کاملLaplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions for deformation invariant shape representation
A deformation invariant representation of surfaces, the GPS embedding, is introduced using the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami differential operator. Notably, since the definition of the GPS embedding completely avoids the use of geodesic distances, and is based on objects of global character, the obtained representation is robust to local topology changes. The GPS embedd...
متن کاملGlobal Medical Shape Analysis Using the Laplace-Beltrami Spectrum
This paper proposes to use the Laplace-Beltrami spectrum (LBS) as a global shape descriptor for medical shape analysis, allowing for shape comparisons using minimal shape preprocessing: no registration, mapping, or remeshing is necessary. The discriminatory power of the method is tested on a population of female caudate shapes of normal control subjects and of subjects with schizotypal personal...
