A Geometric Framework for Stochastic Shape Analysis
We introduce a stochastic model of diffeomorphisms, whose action on a variety of data types descends to stochastic evolution of shapes, images and landmarks. The stochasticity is introduced in the vector field which transports the data in the Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM) framework for shape analysis and image registration. The stochasticity thereby models errors or uncertainties of the flow in following the prescribed deformation velocity. The approach is illustrated in the example of finite dimensional landmark manifolds, whose stochastic evolution is studied both via the Fokker-Planck equation and by numerical simulations. We derive two approaches for inferring parameters of the stochastic model from landmark configurations observed at discrete time points. The first of the two approaches matches moments of the Fokker-Planck equation to sample moments of the data, while the second approach employs an Expectation-Maximisation based algorithm using a Monte Carlo bridge sampling scheme to optimise the data likelihood. We derive and numerically test the ability of the two approaches to infer the spatial correlation length of the underlying noise.

String Methods for Stochastic Image and Shape Matching
Matching of images and analysis of shape differences is traditionally pursued by energy minimization of paths of deformations acting to match the shape objects. In the Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDM…
The fshape framework for the variability analysis of functional shapes
This article introduces a full mathematical and numerical framework for treating functional shapes (or fshapes) following the landmarks of shape spaces and shape analysis. Functional shapes can be described as signal fun…
The Wreath Process: A totally generative model of geometric shape based on nested symmetries
We consider the problem of modelling noisy but highly symmetric shapes that can be viewed as hierarchies of whole-part relationships in which higher level objects are composed of transformed collections of lower level ob…
Learning the Geometry of Data: A Mathematical Review of Shape Space Analysis
A central objective of machine learning is to identify structure and patterns in data. Advances in data acquisition have increasingly produced datasets whose observations possess rich geometric form, giving rise to shape…
LDDMM stochastic interpolants: an application to domain uncertainty quantification in hemodynamics
We introduce a novel conditional stochastic interpolant framework for generative modeling of three-dimensional shapes. The method builds on a recent LDDMM-based registration approach to learn the conditional drift betwee…
