The computation of the elastic registration of two simple curves in higher dimensions and therefore of the elastic shape distance between them has been investigated by Srivastava et al. Assuming the first curve has one or more starting…
For many shape analysis problems in computer vision and scientific imaging (e.g., computational anatomy, morphological cytometry), the ability to align two closed curves in the plane is crucial. In this paper, we concentrate on rigidly…
We introduce an orientation-preserving landmark-based distance for continuous curves, which can be viewed as an alternative to the \Frechet or Dynamic Time Warping distances. This measure retains many of the properties of those measures,…
We study shortest paths and their distances on a subset of a Euclidean space, and their approximation by their equivalents in a neighborhood graph defined on a sample from that subset. In particular, we recover and extend the results of…
We introduce a technique for recovering a sufficiently smooth function from its ray transform over a wide class of curves in a general region of Euclidean space. The method is based on a complexification of the underlying vector fields…
It is shown that $N$ points on a real algebraic curve of degree $n$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ always determine $\gtrsim_{n,d}N^{1+\frac{1}{4}}$ distinct distances, unless the curve is a straight line or the closed geodesic of a flat torus. In the…

Let $S_g$ denote a closed, orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and $\mathcal{C}(S_g)$ be the associated curve complex. The mapping class group of $S_g$, $Mod(S_g)$ acts on $\mathcal{C}(S_g)$ by isometries. Since Dehn twists about certain…
The Fr\'echet distance is a popular similarity measure between curves. For some applications, it is desirable to match the curves under translation before computing the Fr\'echet distance between them. This variant is called the Translation…

When a two-dimensional curved surface is conceived as a limiting case of a curved shell of equal thickness d, where the limit d\rightarrow0 is then taken, the well-known geometric potential is induced by the kinetic energy operator, in fact…
Distance geometry is the study of the arrangements of points in space using only the mutual distances between them. The basic idea in this letter is to use distance geometry for thermodynamics studies of small clusters in the microcanonical…
Using Connes distance formula in noncommutative geometry, it is possible to retrieve the Euclidean distance from the canonical commutation relations of quantum mechanics. In this note, we study modifications of the distance induced by a…
To accomplish a task within limited operation time typically requires an excess expense of energy, whose minimum is of practical importance for the optimal design in various applications, especially in the industrial separation of mixtures…
Manifolds discovered by machine learning models provide a compact representation of the underlying data. Geodesics on these manifolds define locally length-minimising curves and provide a notion of distance, which are key for reduced-order…
In this work, we study plane and spherical curves in Euclidean and Lorentz-Minkowski 3-spaces by employing rotation minimizing (RM) frames. By conveniently writing the curvature and torsion for a curve on a sphere, we show how to find the…
A suitable measure for the similarity of shapes represented by parameterized curves or surfaces is the Fr\'echet distance. Whereas efficient algorithms are known for computing the Fr\'echet distance of polygonal curves, the same problem for…

We discuss a new notion of distance on the space of finite and nonnegative measures which can be seen as a generalization of the well-known Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance. The new distance is based on a dynamical formulation given by an…
A general definition of the curves and geodesics associated with a given connection on a quantized manifold is given. In the particular case of the functional quantization we define geodesics in the same way as in the classical case and we…
