Algebraic Topology-Based Image Deformation: A Unified Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new method for image deformation is presented. It is based upon decomposition of the deformation problem into basic physical laws. Unlike other methods that solve a differential or an energetic formulation of the physical laws involved, we encode the basic laws using computational algebraic topology. Conservative laws are translated into exact global values and constitutive laws are judiciously approximated. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of our model, we deal with both smalland large-scale deformation, utilizing elasticity theory and the viscous fluid model, respectively. The proposed approach is validated through a series of tests on optical flow estimation and image registration.

متن کاملGlobal computational algebraic topology approach for diffusion
One physical process involved in many computer vision problems is the heat diffusion process. Such Partial differential equations are continuous and have to be discretized by some techniques, mostly mathematical processes like finite differences or finite elements. The continuous domain is subdivided into sub-domains in which there is only one value. The diffusion equation comes from the energy...
متن کاملCategorically-algebraic topology and its applications
This paper introduces a new approach to topology, based on category theory and universal algebra, and called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. It incorporates the most important settings of lattice-valued topology, including poslat topology of S.~E.~Rodabaugh, $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology of T.~Kubiak and A.~v{S}ostak, and $M$-fuzzy topology on $L$-fuzzy sets of C.~Guido. Moreover, its respe...
متن کاملA Parameterization of Deformation Fields for Diffeomorphic Image
This study investigates a new parameterization of deformation fields for image registration. Instead of standard displacements, this parameterization describes a deformation field with its transformation Jacobian and curl of end velocity field. It has two important features which make it appealing to image registration: 1) it relaxes the need of an explicit regularization term and the correspon...
متن کاملA Computational Algebraic Topology Model for the Deformation of Curves
A new method for the deformation of curves is presented. It is based upon a decomposition of the linear elasticity problem into basic physical laws. Unlike other methods which solve the partial differential equation arising from the physical laws by numerical techniques, we encode the basic laws using computational algebraic topology. Conservative laws use exact global values while constitutive...
