The Euler-Poincare (EP) equations describe the geodesic motion on the diffeomorphism group. For template matching (template deformation), the Euler-Lagrangian equation, arising from minimizing an energy function, falls into the Euler-Poincare theory and can be recast into the EP equations. By casting the EP equations in the Lagrangian (or characteristics) form, we formulate the equations as a finite dimensional particle system. The evolution of this particle system describes the geodesic motion of landmark points on a Riemann manifold. In this paper we present a class of novel algorithms that take advantage of the structure of the particle system to achieve a fast matching process between the reference and the target templates. The strong suit of the proposed algorithms includes (1) the efficient feedback control iteration, which allows one to find the initial velocity field for driving the deformation from the reference template to the target one, (2) the use of the conical kernel in the particle system, which limits the interaction between particles and thus accelerates the convergence, and (3) the availability of the implementation of fast-multipole method for solving the particle system, which could reduce the computational cost from $O(N^2)$ to $O(Nlog N)$, where $N$ is the number of particles. The convergence properties of the proposed algorithms are analyzed. Finally, we present several examples for both exact and inexact matchings, and numerically analyze the iterative process to illustrate the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed algorithms.
We study a class of partial differential equations (PDEs) in the family of the so-called Euler-Poincare differential systems, with the aim of developing a foundation for numerical algorithms of their solutions. This requires particular attention to t
In this paper, we propose a numerical method to solve the classic $L^2$-optimal transport problem. Our algorithm is based on use of multiple shooting, in combination with a continuation procedure, to solve the boundary value problem associated to the
We study Euler-Poincare systems (i.e., the Lagrangian analogue of Lie-Poisson Hamiltonian systems) defined on semidirect product Lie algebras. We first give a derivation of the Euler-Poincare equations for a parameter dependent Lagrangian by using a
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the foliation defined by level sets of a function f(x_{1},...,x_{n}) to be totally geodesic in a torsion-free connection and apply them to find the conditions for d-webs of hypersurfaces to be geodesic,
The Green Nagdhi equations are frequently used as a model of the wave-like behaviour of the free surface of a fluid, or the interface between two homogeneous fluids of differing densities. Here we show that their multilayer extension arises naturally
