报告简介：

In statistical analysis of shapes of objects, an important step is registration. The registration not only preserves importantstructures in the data but also leads to more parsimonious statistical models for capturing shape variability. In case of parameterized curves and surfaces, the registration step is akin to removing the parameterization variability present in mathematical representations of these objects. Taking three fundamentally different examples: (1) real-valued function data, (2)

parameterized curves in Euclidean spaces, and (3) parameterized surfaces in R3, I will describe a comprehensive Riemannian framework that achieves the following goals. It provides an analysis of shapes of curves and surfaces that is invariant to standard

similarity transformations and, additionally, to parameterizations of these objects. This framework, called elastic shape analysis, incorporates an optimal registration of points across objects while providing proper metrics, geodesics, and sample statistics of shapes. These sample statistics are further useful in statistical modeling of shapes in different shape classes. I will demonstrate these ideas using applications from medical image analysis, protein structure analysis, 3D face recognition, and human activity recognition in videos.
