by specifying neighboring points and tangent vectors, which allows to differentiate smooth functions on the manifold. The topology also impacts the global structure as it determines if there exists a…

apply a transformation defined by parameters . In 2D, similarity transformations have 4 parameters, affine transformations are defined by 6 parameters. The configurations of points defined by and are considered…

Fig. 1 Typical components of registration algorithms The choice of the transformation model is usually dictated by the application at hand and is related to the nature of the deformation…
