Biophysically Inspired Morphometrics

ORAL

Abstract

Motivated by the quest to understand shape changes in biology, both in a developing organism and over evolutionary time scales, we develop a computational framework for analyzing geometric shape changes between surfaces embedded in three dimensions. Our approach allows us to simultaneously solve the problem of registration and the morphing of shapes onto each other using biophysically inspired distance functions. We then discuss how this framework can be used to analyze shape changes in such instances as planar wings and human faces.
