In continuation of [3] we discuss metrics of the form $$ G^P_f(h,k)=\int_M \sum_{i=0}^p\Phi_i(\Vol(f)) \g((P_i)_fh,k) \vol(f^*\g) $$ on the space of immersions $\Imm(M,N)$ and on shape space $B_i(M,N)=\Imm(M,N)/\on{Diff}(M)$. Here $(N,\g)$…

Many procedures in science, engineering and medicine produce data in the form of geometric shapes. Mathematically, a shape can be modeled as an un-parameterized immersed sub-manifold, which is the notion of shape used here. Endowing shape…
