Sliding at first order: Higher-order momentum distributions for discontinuous image registration

Lili Bao, Jiahao Lu, Shihui Ying +1

In this paper, we propose a new approach to deformable image registration that captures sliding motions. The large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) registration met…

A function space perspective on stochastic shape evolution

Elizabeth Baker, Thomas Besnier, Stefan Sommer

Modelling randomness in shape data, for example, the evolution of shapes of organisms in biology, requires stochastic models of shapes. This paper presents a new stochastic shape m…

A Denoising Diffusion Model for Fluid Field Prediction

Gefan Yang, Stefan Sommer

We propose a novel denoising diffusion generative model for predicting nonlinear fluid fields named FluidDiff. By performing a diffusion process, the model is able to learn a compl…

Most probable flows for Kunita SDEs

Erlend Grong, Stefan Sommer

We identify most probable flows for Kunita Brownian motions, i.e. stochastic flows with Eulerian noise and deterministic drifts. Such stochastic processes appear for example in flu…

Currents and K-functions for Fiber Point Processes

Pernille EH. Hansen, Rasmus Waagepetersen, Anne Marie Svane +4

Analysis of images of sets of fibers such as myelin sheaths or skeletal muscles must account for both the spatial distribution of fibers and differences in fiber shape. This necess…
