[DissKoll] Reminder: DissKoll, 20 January 2011, Philipp, "Sobolev metrics on shape space"

[Klemens Katterbauer]

Dear visitors of the DissKoll (Dissertantenkolloquium),

On January 20, 2011, the DissKoll will have its fifth talk in this semester.

Philipp Harms (University of Vienna) will talk about "Sobolev metrics
on shape space ".

Philipp Harms
Sobolev metrics on shape space
Abstract:

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. Endowing shape space
with a Riemannian metric opens up the world of Riemannian differential
geometry with geodesics, gradient flows and curvature. Unfortunately,
the simplest such metric induces vanishing path-length distance on
shape space. This discovery was the starting point to a quest for
stronger, meaningful metrics that should be able to distinguish
salient features of shapes. Sobolev metrics are a very promising
approach to that.

Thursday, January 20, 2010, 17:15, Room C 2.07
Coffee and cakes served from 17:00 in the Common Room C 2.06
