Abstract

Let D be a dataset of smooth 3D surfaces, partitioned into disjoint classes CLj, j=1,…,k. We show how optimized diffeomorphic registration applied to large numbers of pairs (S,S), S,S∈D can provide descriptive feature vectors to implement automatic classification on D and generate classifiers invariant by rigid motions in R3. To enhance the accuracy of shape classification, we enrich the smallest classes CLj by diffeomorphic interpolation of smooth surfaces between pairs S,S∈CLj. We also implement small random perturbations of surfaces S∈CLj by random flows of smooth diffeomorphisms Ft:R3→R3. Finally, we test our classification methods on a cardiology database of discretized mitral valve surfaces.
