Varifold-Based Matching of Curves via Sobolev-Type Riemannian Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Second order Sobolev metrics are a useful tool in the shape analysis of curves. In this paper we combine these metrics with varifoldbased inexact matching to explore a new strategy of computing geodesics between unparametrized curves. We describe the numerical method used for solving the inexact matching problem, apply it to study the shape of mosquito wings and compare our method to curve matching in the LDDMM framework.

Properties of Sobolev–type metrics in the space of curves
We define a manifold M where objects c ∈ M are curves, which we parameterize as c : S → lR (n ≥ 2, S is the circle). We study geometries on the manifold of curves, provided by Sobolev–type Riemannian metrics H . These metrics have been shown to regularize gradient flows used in Computer Vision applications, see [13, 16] and references therein. We provide some basic results of H metrics; and, fo...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Riemannian Metrics on Spaces of Curves Using the Hamiltonian Approach
Here shape space is either the manifold of simple closed smooth unparameterized curves in R or is the orbifold of immersions from S to R modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of S. We investige several Riemannian metrics on shape space: L-metrics weighted by expressions in length and curvature. These include a scale invariant metric and a Wasserstein type metric which is sandwiched between two le...
متن کاملCurve Matching with Applications in Medical Imaging
In the recent years, Riemannian shape analysis of curves and surfaces has found several applications in medical image analysis. In this paper we present a numerical discretization of second order Sobolev metrics on the space of regular curves in Euclidean space. This class of metrics has several desirable mathematical properties. We propose numerical solutions for the initial and boundary value...
متن کاملA Numerical Framework for Sobolev Metrics on the Space of Curves
Statistical shape analysis can be done in a Riemannian framework by endowing the set of shapes with a Riemannian metric. Sobolev metrics of order two and higher on shape spaces of parametrized or unparametrized curves have several desirable properties not present in lower order metrics, but their discretization is still largely missing. In this paper, we present algorithms to numerically solve ...
متن کاملR-transforms for Sobolev H-metrics on Spaces of Plane Curves
We consider spaces of smooth immersed plane curves (modulo translations and/or rotations), equipped with reparameterization invariant weak Riemannian metrics involving second derivatives. This includes the full H2-metric without zero order terms. We find isometries (called R-transforms) from some of these spaces into function spaces with simpler weak Riemannian metrics, and we use this to give ...
