Analysis of Planar Shapes Using Geodesic Paths on Shape Space E. Klassen, A. Srivastava, W. Mio, S. Joshi Nhon Trinh EN-161 final project Initial presenation Nov 8, 2004
Motivation for Shape Analysis • Applications: medical imaging, object, recognition, shape morphing, etc • Need: a tool to represent, analyze and interpolate among shapes
Existing Shape Models • Most represent shape as finite number of salient points (landmarks) • Drawbacks: • outcome and accuracy of analysis heavily dependent on the choice of landmarks • Difficult to automate the selection of landmarks
New approach Using tangent angle function θ(s) or curvature k(s)
Geometry Representation of Planar Shape Using θ(s) • Each shape is represented as a function θ: [0, 2π) R2. θ is point the pre-shape manifold C • Constraints: • Invariant to rotation: mean = π • Closure condition: • Let S be the re-parameterization group (change of initial point along the curve). The shape space is C/S
Comparing Shape: Geodesic Distance on Shape Space • Geodesics on a manifold embedded in a Euclidean space is defined to be a constant speed curve on the manifold, whose acceleration is always perpendicular to the manifold. Geodesic is the shortest-distance curve to travel between two points on a manifold.
Numerical Methods for Finding Geodesics • Task: Given two shapes θ1 and θ2, find an geodesic path to go from θ1 to θ2. • Method: among all directions in tangent space Tp of the shape space at θ1, find the direction that leads to θ2. • Difficulty: Tp(S) is infinite-dimensional • Solution: Approximate elements of Tp(S) with finite-dimensional Fourier series.
Application of Shape analysis • Interpolation and extrapolation on shape space
Applications (cont’d) • Clustering shapes
Applications (cont’d) • Compute mean shape:
