用少量标注点引导变形,让运输模型更符合几何意义。
Coupled Optimal Transport with Landmark Constraints

- 通过地标约束耦合运输计划与变形场,统一优化
- 仅需少量标注点即可恢复精准的分布变换映射
- 适合需要几何合理性、标注稀疏的形状匹配任务
现有最优传输(OT)模型主要通过最小化预设传输成本或失真来寻找分布间的传输映射或计划。然而,单纯最小化传输成本或失真可能无法识别出具有几何意义的分布变换。为此,本文提出一种新型耦合最优传输框架,利用少量标注地标来引导底层变形的恢复,该变形决定了分布之间的转换关系。该框架将传输计划与变形场的优化统一建模,通过互一致性约束实现两者的耦合。由此,变形由标注地标和成本驱动的分布匹配共同决定。所提框架在一般变分设置下具有良好的定义性,并开发了基于有限元的数值算法,其收敛性得到系统分析。在形状匹配任务中验证了方法的实际有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Existing optimal transport (OT) models primarily seek an OT map or plan between distributions by minimizing a prescribed transport cost or distortion. However, minimizing transport cost or distortion alone may fail to identify a geometrically meaningful transformation between the two distributions. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a novel coupled OT framework that leverages a small number of annotated landmarks to guide the recovery of an underlying deformation governing the distribution transformation. The coupled OT framework integrates the optimization of the transport plan and the deformation field into a unified model, where the landmark-guided deformation field and the cost-driven transport plan are coupled through a mutual-consistency constraint. As a result, the deformation is jointly determined by the annotated landmarks and cost-driven distribution matching. The proposed framework provides a principled connection between landmark-based registration and transport-based distribution matching, enabling the recovery of transport maps from sparse geometric supervision. We establish the well-definedness of the proposed model in a general variational setting and develop a finite-element-based numerical algorithm for computation whose convergence properties are systematically analyzed. The practical effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified in shape matching.
