  • 通过映射到统一参考域实现形状不变性比较
  • 基于SDF的前向变换能连续捕捉边界与内部几何
  • 适用于2D/3D及动态形状,支持多场联合分析

我们提出一种基于从形状域映射到公共参考域的函数的数学框架,用于形状比较。该前向变换(PF-T)能够实现形状的不变且鲁棒比较,同时保留内在几何信息。在图像分析中,对形状及其时序演化的定量比较是一项基本挑战。有意义的形状比较需要对不改变形状本身的变换(如平移、旋转、反射、重参数化、均匀缩放)保持不变,同时对内在几何变化敏感。现有方法常依赖于对参数化敏感、需要特征点对应或难以解释和复现的深度学习表示。我们证明,将前向变换应用于有符号距离函数(SDF)可得到一个连续表示,能同时捕捉边界和内部几何。我们推导出一个可解释的形态度量,可揭示骨骼拓扑结构和旋转对称性等特征。该变换适用于二维和三维形状,可扩展至时变几何,并支持对定义在形状上的额外标量场(如强度或分子信号)进行联合分析。我们给出了完整的数学形式,描述了高效算法,并在二维、三维及时间序列数据集上进行了基准测试。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We introduce a mathematical framework for shape comparison based on mapping functions from the shape domain to a common reference domain. This Push-Forward Transform enables invariant and robust comparison of shapes, preserving intrinsic geometric information. Quantitatively comparing shapes and their temporal evolution is a fundamental challenge in image analysis. Meaningful shape comparison requires representations that are invariant to transformations that do not alter shape itself, such as translation, rotation, reflection, re-parametrization, and uniform scaling, while remaining sensitive to intrinsic geometric variation. Existing approaches often rely on sensitive parameterizations, landmark correspondence, or learned representations that are difficult to interpret and reproduce. We show that the Push-Forward Transform (PF-T) applied to Signed Distance Functions (SDFs) yields a continuous representation that captures both boundary and interior geometry. We derive an interpretable morphometric that quantifies shape similarity and reveals features such as skeletal topology and rotational symmetries. The push-forward transform applies consistently to two- and three-dimensional shapes, extends to time-evolving geometries, and supports the joint analysis of shape and additional scalar fields defined over shapes, such as intensity or molecular signals. We present the mathematical formulation, describe an efficient algorithm, and benchmark the approach on 2D, 3D, and temporal data sets.
