  • Geometric Analysis of Shapes and Its Application to Medical Image Analysis
    Geometric Analysis of Shapes and Its application to Medical Image Analysis by Anirban Mukhopadhyay (Under the DIRECTION of Suchendra M. Bhandarkar) Abstract Geometric analysis of shapes plays an important role in the way the visual world is per- ceived by modern computers. To this end, low-level geometric features provide most obvious and important cues towards understanding the visual scene. A novel intrinsic geometric sur- face descriptor, termed as the Geodesic Field Estimate (GFE) is proposed. Also proposed is a parallel algorithm, well suited for implementation on Graphics Processing Units, for efficient computation of the shortest geodesic paths. Another low level geometric descriptor, termed as the Biharmonic Density Estimate, is proposed to provide an intrinsic geometric scale space signature for multiscale surface feature-based representation of deformable 3D shapes. The computer vision and graphics communities rely on mid-level geometric understanding as well to analyze a scene. Symmetry detection and partial shape matching play an important role as mid-level cues. A comprehensive framework for detection and characterization of partial intrinsic symmetry over 3D shapes is proposed. To identify prominent overlapping symmetric regions, the proposed framework is decoupled into Correspondence Space Voting followed by Transformation Space Mapping procedure. Moreover, a novel multi-criteria optimization framework for matching of partially visible shapes in multiple images using joint geometric embedding is also proposed. The ultimate goal of geometric shape analysis is to resolve high level applications of modern world. This dissertation has focused on three different application scenarios. In the first scenario, a novel approach for the analysis of the non-rigid Left Ventricular (LV) endocardial surface from Multi-Detector CT images, using a generalized isometry-invariant Bag-of-Features (BoF) descriptor, is proposed and implemented.

  • Perspectives on Geometric Analysis
    Surveys in Differential Geometry X Perspectives on geometric analysis Shing-Tung Yau This essay grew from a talk I gave on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the Chinese Mathematical Society. I dedicate the lecture to the memory of my teacher S.S. Chern who had passed away half a year before (December 2004). During my graduate studies, I was rather free in picking research topics. I[731] worked on fundamental groups of manifolds with non-positive curva- ture. But in the second year of my studies, I started to look into differential equations on manifolds. However, at that time, Chern was very much inter- ested in the work of Bott on holomorphic vector fields. Also he told me that I should work on Riemann hypothesis. (Weil had told him that it was time for the hypothesis to be settled.) While Chern did not express his opinions about my research on geometric analysis, he started to appreciate it a few years later. In fact, after Chern gave a course on Calabi’s works on affine geometry in 1972 at Berkeley, S.Y. Cheng told me about these inspiring lec- tures. By 1973, Cheng and I started to work on some problems mentioned in Chern’s lectures. We did not realize that the great geometers Pogorelov, Calabi and Nirenberg were also working on them. We were excited that we solved some of the conjectures of Calabi on improper affine spheres. But soon after we found out that Pogorelov [563] published his results right be- fore us by different arguments. Nevertheless our ideas are useful in handling other problems in affine geometry, and my knowledge about Monge-Amp`ere equations started to broaden in these years.

Nc ! ¥, and explore the statistical nature of the topological susceptibility by analyzing its critical behavior at a non-zero-vacuum parameter q and temperature T. We find that the system undergoes a vacuum phase transition at the chiral symmetry restoration temperature as well as at an absolute value of q. On the other hand, the long-range correlation length solely depends on q for the theories with critical exponent e = 2 or T = Td + 1, where Td is the decoherence temperature. Furthermore, it is worth noticing that the unit-critical exponent vacuum configuration corresponds to a non-interacting statistical basis pertaining to a constant mass of h0. Keywords: thermodynamic geometry; fluctuation theory; phase transitions; topological susceptibility; QCD; large N gauge theory 1. Introduction Quantum chromo-dynamics (QCD) as a Yang–Mills (YM) gauge theory has opened interesting avenues in understanding strong nuclear processes and decay reactions [1–3]. Therefore, the stability of nuclear particles, viz. the determination of the lifetime of a particle or decay rate of a given nuclear reaction is one of the most interesting research issues since the proposition of modern gauge field theory [4].
