This work serves as an opening and basis of an ongoing program investigating topological and geometric aspects of the moduli space of smooth fiberings on a manifold. The present paper focuses on the algebraic and differential topology of…

We consider the problem of finding a continuous and non-rigid matching between a 2D contour and a 3D mesh. While such problems can be solved to global optimality by finding a shortest path in the product graph between both shapes, existing…

Principal manifolds serve as useful tool for many practical applications. These manifolds are defined as lines or surfaces passing through "the middle" of data distribution. We propose an algorithm for fast construction of grid…

We introduce Integral Curve Coordinates, which identify each point in a bounded domain with a parameter along an integral curve of the gradient of a function $f$ on that domain; suitable functions have exactly one critical point, a maximum,…

Maps from a source manifold $ {\mathcal M}$ to a target manifold ${\mathcal N}$ appear in liquid crystals, colour image enhancement, texture mapping, brain mapping, and many other areas. A numerical framework to solve variational problems…

We present a new approach for matching regular surfaces in a Riemannian setting. We use a Sobolev type metric on deformation vector fields which form the tangent bundle to the space of surfaces. In this article we compare our approach with…

The paper presents a new method for shape and topology optimization based on an efficient and scalable boundary integral formulation for elasticity. To optimize topology, our approach uses iterative extraction of isosurfaces of a…

We present a generic solution to the fundamental problem of how to connect two points in a plane by a smooth curve that goes through these points with a given slope. The smoothness of any curve depends both on its curvature and its length.…

We propose a manifold matching approach to generative models which includes a distribution generator (or data generator) and a metric generator. In our framework, we view the real data set as some manifold embedded in a high-dimensional…

Within a framework of noncommutative geometry, we develop an analogue of (pseudo) Riemannian geometry on finite and discrete sets. On a finite set, there is a counterpart of the continuum metric tensor with a simple geometric…

We define a regularized size-shape distortion (quality) measure for curved high-order elements on a Riemannian space. To this end, we measure the deviation of a given element, straight-sided or curved, from the stretching, alignment, and…

We present MeshODE, a scalable and robust framework for pairwise CAD model deformation without prespecified correspondences. Given a pair of shapes, our framework provides a novel shape feature-preserving mapping function that continuously…

Despite the success of deep functional maps in non-rigid 3D shape matching, there exists no learning framework that models both self-symmetry and shape matching simultaneously. This is despite the fact that errors due to symmetry mismatch…

The square root velocity function (SRVF), introduced by Srivastava et al, has proved to be an effective way to compare absolutely continuous curves in $R^N$ modulo reparametrization. Several computational papers have been published based on…

We present a method to match three dimensional shapes under non-isometric deformations, topology changes and partiality. We formulate the problem as matching between a set of pair-wise and point-wise descriptors, imposing a continuity prior…

State-based peridynamic models provide an important extension of bond-based models that allow the description of general linearly elastic materials. Meshfree discretizations of these nonlocal models are attractive due to their ability to…

Point discretization of curved surfaces is required in many applications ranging from object rendering to the solution of surface partial differential equations (PDEs). These applications often impose that surfaces are sampled with local…

The consideration of the so-called rotation minimizing frames allows for a simple and elegant characterization of plane and spherical curves in Euclidean space via a linear equation relating the coefficients that dictate the frame motion.…

We introduce a novel type of approximation spaces for functions with values in a nonlinear manifold. The discrete functions are constructed by piecewise polynomial interpolation in a Euclidean embedding space, and then projecting pointwise…

We suggest a novel shape matching algorithm for three-dimensional surface meshes of disk or sphere topology. The method is based on the physical theory of nonlinear elasticity and can hence handle large rotations and deformations.…
