Subjective Surfaces and Riemannian Mean Curvature Flow of Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A geometric model for segmentation of images with missing boundaries is presented. Some classical problems of boundary completion in cognitive images, like the pop up of subjective contours in the famous triangle of Kanizsa, are faced from a surface evolution point of view. The method is based on the mean curvature evolution of a graph with respect to the Riemannian metric induced by the image. Existence, uniqueness and maximum principle of the parabolic partial differential equation are proved. A numerical scheme introduced by Osher and Sethian for evolution of fronts by curvature motion is adopted. Results are presented both for modal completion of cognitive objects and segmentation of medical images with missing boundaries.

Hyperbolic surfaces of $L_1$-2-type
In this paper, we show that an $L_1$-2-type surface in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^3subset R^4_1$ either is an open piece of a standard Riemannian product $ H^1(-sqrt{1+r^2})times S^{1}(r)$, or it has non constant mean curvature, non constant Gaussian curvature, and non constant principal curvatures.

متن کاملFoliations and Chern-Heinz inequalities
We extend the Chern-Heinz inequalities about mean curvature and scalar curvature of graphs of C2-functions to leaves of transversally oriented codimension one C2-foliations of Riemannian manifolds. That extends partially Salavessa’s work on mean curvature of graphs and generalize results of Barbosa-Kenmotsu-Oshikiri [3] and Barbosa-GomesSilveira [2] about foliations of 3-dimensional Riemannian ...
متن کاملMean Curvature Flow and Bernstein-calabi Results for Spacelike Graphs
This is a survey of our work on spacelike graphic submanifolds in pseudoRiemannian products, namely on Heinz-Chern and Bernstein-Calabi results and on the mean curvature flow, with applications to the homotopy of maps between Riemannian manifolds.
متن کاملLong time behavior of Riemannian mean curvature flow of graphs
In this paper we consider long time behavior of a mean curvature flow of nonparametric surface in Rn, with respect to a conformal Riemannian metric. We impose zero boundary value, and we prove that the solution tends to 0 exponentially fast as t → ∞. Its normalization u/supu tends to the first eigenfunction of the associated linearized problem. 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
