Overview
\u200b\u200bRicci Flow for Shape Analysis and Surface Registration introduces the beautiful and profound Ricci flow theory in a discrete setting. By using basic tools in linear algebra and multivariate calculus, readers can deduce all the major theorems in surface\u200b\xa0Ricci flow by themselves. The authors adapt\xa0the\xa0Ricci flow theory to practical computational algorithms, apply Ricci flow for shape analysis and surface registration, and demonstrate the power of Ricci flow in many applications in medical imaging, computer graphics, computer vision and wireless sensor network. Due to minimal pre-requisites, this book\xa0is accessible to\xa0engineers\xa0and medical\xa0experts, including educators, researchers, students and industry engineers\xa0who\xa0have an interest in\xa0solving\xa0real problems related to shape analysis and surface registration. \xa0
