Many imaging problems can be formulated as mapping problems. A general mapping problem aims to obtain an optimal mapping that minimizes an energy functional subject to the given constraints. Existing methods to solve the mapping problems…

Many genus-0 surface mapping tasks such as landmark alignment, feature matching, and image-driven registration, can be reduced (via an initial spherical conformal map) to optimizing a spherical self-homeomorphism with controlled distortion.…

This paper presents a method to compute the {\it quasi-conformal parameterization} (QCMC) for a multiply-connected 2D domain or surface. QCMC computes a quasi-conformal map from a multiply-connected domain $S$ onto a punctured disk $D_S$…

This paper proposes a novel method for computing bijective density-equalizing quasiconformal (DEQ) flattening maps for multiply-connected open surfaces. In conventional density-equalizing maps, shape deformations are solely driven by…

Surface mapping plays an important role in geometric processing. They induce both area and angular distortions. If the angular distortion is bounded, the mapping is called a {\it quasi-conformal} map. Many surface maps in our physical world…

We propose a novel method for parameterizations of triangle meshes by finding an optimal quasiconformal map that minimizes an energy consisting of a relative entropy term and a quasiconformal term. By prescribing a prior probability measure…

In the present paper, it was studied the boundary behavior of the so-called lower Q-homeomorphisms in the plane that are a natural generalization of the quasiconformal mappings. In particular, it was found a series of effective conditions…

In medical imaging, surface registration is extensively used for performing systematic comparisons between anatomical structures, with a prime example being the highly convoluted brain cortical surfaces. To obtain a meaningful registration,…

We consider the least-squares finite element method (lsfem) for systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and establish an optimal error estimate for this method when piecewise linear elements are used. The main assumptions are…

Registration, which aims to find an optimal 1-1 correspondence between shapes, is an important process in different research areas. Conformal mappings have been widely used to obtain a diffeomorphism between shapes that minimizes angular…

Over the past several decades, geometric mapping methods have been extensively developed and utilized for many practical problems in science and engineering. To assess the quality of geometric mappings, one common consideration is their…

Evaluating the similarity of non-rigid shapes with significant partiality is a fundamental task in numerous computer vision applications. Here, we propose a novel axiomatic method to match similar regions across shapes. Matching similar…

Diffusion maps is a manifold learning algorithm widely used for dimensionality reduction. Using a sample from a distribution, it approximates the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of associated Laplace-Beltrami operators. Theoretical bounds on…

3D face registration is an important process in which a 3D face model is aligned and mapped to a template face. However, the task of 3D face registration becomes particularly challenging when dealing with partial face data, where only…

In shape analysis, finding an optimal 1-1 correspondence between surfaces within a large class of admissible bijective mappings is of great importance. Such process is called surface registration. The difficulty lies in the fact that the…

Optimizing deformation energies over a mesh, in two or three dimensions, is a common and critical problem in physical simulation and geometry processing. We present three new improvements to the state of the art: a barrier-aware line-search…

Wave equation techniques have been an integral part of geophysical imaging workflows to investigate the Earth's subsurface. Least-squares reverse time migration (LSRTM) is a linearized inversion problem that iteratively minimizes a misfit…

We introduce computational strategies for measuring the ``size'' of the spectrum of bounded self-adjoint operators using various metrics such as the Lebesgue measure, fractal dimensions, the number of connected components (or gaps), and…

We consider a problem in eigenvalue optimization, in particular finding a local minimizer of the spectral abscissa - the value of a parameter that results in the smallest value of the largest real part of the spectrum of a matrix system.…

Three-dimensional (3D) mappings are fundamental in various scientific and engineering applications, including computer-aided engineering (CAE), computer graphics, and medical imaging. They are typically represented and stored as…
