چکیده

Many shape analysis methods treat the geometry of an object as a metric space captured by the Laplace-Beltrami operator. In this thesis we present an adaptation of a classical operator from quantum mechanics to shape analysis where we suggest to integrate a scalar function through a unified elliptical Hamiltonian operator. We study the addition of a potential function to the Laplacian as a generator for dual spaces in which shape processing is performed. After exploration of the decomposition of this operator, we evaluate the resulting spectral basis for different applications. First, we present a general optimization approach for solving variational problems involving the basis defined by the Hamiltonian using perturbation theory for eigenvectors. Then, we propose an iteratively-reweighted L2 norm for sparsity promoting problems such as the compressed harmonics where solution is reduced to a sequence of simple eigendecomposition of the Hamiltonian. Physically understandable, they do not require non-convex optimization on Stiefel manifolds and produce faster, stable and more accurate results. We then suggest a new framework for mesh compression using a Hamiltonian based dictionary where regions of interest are enhanced through the proposed operator. By sparsely encoding the geometry of the shape using the proposed data-dependent basis, we improve compression performance compared to previous results that use the standard Laplacian and spectral graph wavelets. Finally, we propose to apply the Hamiltonian for shape matching where information such as anchor points, corresponding features, and consistent photometry or inconsistent regions can be considered through a potential function for improving the performance in finding correspondence between surfaces.

The spectral properties of differential operators with matrix coefficients on elliptic systems with boundary conditions

Let $$(Lv)(t)=sum^{n} _{i,j=1} (-1)^{j} d_{j} left( s^{2alpha}(t) b_{ij}(t) mu(t) d_{i}v(t)right),$$ be a non-selfadjoint differential operator on the Hilbert space $L_{2}(Omega)$ with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions. In continuing of papers [10-12], let the conditions made on the operator $ L$ be sufficiently more general than [11] and [12] as defined in Section $1$. In this paper, we estim...

Asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of the elliptic operator system

Since the theory of spectral properties of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces is an important field in mathematics, therefore, different techniques are used to study them. In this paper, two types of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces are considered and their spectral properties are investigated with two different and new techniques.

Rigidity of Differential Operators and Chern Numbers of Singular Varieties

A differential operator D commuting with an S-action is said to be rigid if the non-constant Fourier coefficients of kerD and coker D are the same. Somewhat surprisingly, the study of rigid differential operators turns out to be closely related to the problem of defining Chern numbers on singular varieties. This relationship comes into play when we make use of the rigidity properties of the com...

The utility of shape attributes in deciphering movements of non-rigid objects.

Most moving objects in the world are non-rigid, changing shape as they move. To disentangle shape changes from movements, computational models either fit shapes to combinations of basis shapes or motion trajectories to combinations of oscillations but are biologically unfeasible in their input requirements. Recent neural models parse shapes into stored examples, which are unlikely to exist for ...
