Statistical shape analysis

Deformations and shape

E_{s_0,s_1}(\phi)=R(\phi)+\frac1\lambda S(\phi.s_0,s_1)

action: \(\phi.s=\phi\circ s\)         (shapes)
             \(\phi.s=s\circ\phi^{-1}\)     (images)

\( \phi \)

\( \phi \) warp of domain \(\Omega\) (2D or 3D space)

landmarks: \(s=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\)

curves: \(s: \mathbb S^1\to\mathbb R^2\)

surfaces: \(s: \mathbb S^2\to\mathbb R^3\)

Riemannian view

R(\phi_t)=\int_0^T\|\partial_t \phi_t\|_{\phi_t}^2dt
