We introduce and begin to explore the mean and median of finite sets of shapes represented as integral currents. The median can be computed efficiently in practice, and we focus most of our theoretical and computational attention on medians. We consider questions on the existence and regularity of medians. While the median might not exist in all cases, we show that a mass-regularized median is guaranteed to exist. When the input shapes are modeled by integral currents with shared boundaries in codimension $1$, we show that the median is guaranteed to exist, and is contained in the emph{envelope} of the input currents. On the other hand, we show that medians can be emph{wild} in this setting, and smooth inputs can generate non-smooth medians. For higher codimensions, we show that emph{books} are minimizing for a finite set of $1$-currents in $Bbb{R}^3$ with shared boundaries. As part of this proof, we present a new result in graph theory---that emph{cozy} graphs are emph{comfortable}---which should be of independent interest. Further, we show that regular points on the median have book-like tangent cones in this case. From the point of view of computation, we study the median shape in the settings of a finite simplicial complex. When the input shapes are represented by chains of the simplicial complex, we show that the problem of finding the median shape can be formulated as an integer linear program. This optimization problem can be solved as a linear program in practice, thus allowing one to compute median shapes efficiently. We provide open source code implementing our methods, which could also be used by anyone to experiment with ideas of their own. The software could be accessed at https://github.com/tbtraltaa/medianshape.
Currents represent generalized surfaces studied in geometric measure theory. They range from relatively tame integral currents representing oriented compact manifolds with boundary and integer multiplicities, to arbitrary elements of the dual space o
Spectral geometric methods have brought revolutionary changes to the field of geometry processing -- however, when the data to be processed exhibits severe partiality, such methods fail to generalize. As a result, there exists a big performance gap b
This is an overview article. In his Habilitationsvortrag, Riemann described infinite dimensional manifolds parameterizing functions and shapes of solids. This is taken as an excuse to describe convenient calculus in infinite dimensions which allows
We propose Deep Estimators of Features (DEFs), a learning-based framework for predicting sharp geometric features in sampled 3D shapes. Differently from existing data-driven methods, which reduce this problem to feature classification, we propose to
In order to use persistence diagrams as a true statistical tool, it would be very useful to have a good notion of mean and variance for a set of diagrams. In 2011, Mileyko and his collaborators made the first study of the properties of the Frechet me
