Image Manifolds

چکیده
A collection of related N by M images, such as a set of faces, may be modeled by a manifold embedded in an NM -dimensional Euclidean space called an image manifold. With the modeling of image spaces as manifolds, geometric properties of image manifolds can be studied either theoretically or experimentally. A practical result of the investigation of image manifolds provides an insight into image source entropy (i.e., image compressibility), a subject about which, oddly, little is known. The investigation begins with the most basic properties of a manifold, its dimension and its curvature. The study of dimensionality reveals a high embedding ratio, which gives promise of very high compression rates. The curvature of image manifolds is shown to be large indicating that application of traditional linear transform techniques may not ful ll this promise.

Multiple point of self-transverse immesions of certain manifolds
In this paper we will determine the multiple point manifolds of certain self-transverse immersions in Euclidean spaces. Following the triple points, these immersions have a double point self-intersection set which is the image of an immersion of a smooth 5-dimensional manifold, cobordant to Dold manifold $V^5$ or a boundary. We will show there is an immersion of $S^7times P^2$ in $mathbb{R}^{1...

Manifold learning is a dimension reduction method for extracting nonlinear structures of high-dimensional data. Many methods have been introduced for this purpose. Most of these methods usually extract a global manifold for data. However, in many real-world problems, there is not only one global manifold, but also additional information about the objects is shared by a large number of manifolds...
متن کاملMapping the Ensemble of Natural Image Patches by Explicit and Implicit Manifolds
Image patches are fundamental elements for object modeling and recognition. However, there has not been a panoramic study in the literature on the structures of the whole ensemble of natural image patches. In this article, we study the mathematical structures of the ensemble of natural image patches and map image patches into two types of subspaces which we call “explicit manifolds” and “implic...
متن کاملGeometric Properties of Image Manifolds
Recently, the notion of data as manifolds has come into being. The subject of image manifolds has been explored but not extensively and not from the point of view of di erential geometry. It is a well known fact that image manifolds are curved. Using some basic techniques of di erential geometry this paper explores image manifold curvature and attempts get a feel for the magnitude of this curva...
