Mesh Learning Using Persistent Homology on the Laplacian Eigenfunctions
We use persistent homology along with the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian to study similarity amongst triangulated 2-manifolds. Our method relies on studying the lower-star filtration induced by the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. This gives us a shape descriptor that inherits the rich information encoded in the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. Moreover, the similarity between these descriptors can be easily computed using tools that are readily available in Topological Data Analysis. We provide experiments to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Topological data analysis (TDA) is an emerging field in mathematics and data science. Its central technique, persistent homology, has had tremendous success in many science and engineering disciplines. However, persisten…
Topological Data AnalysisInverse Rendering for High-Genus 3D Surface Meshes from Multi-view Images with Persistent Homology Priors
Reconstructing 3D objects from images is inherently an ill-posed problem due to ambiguities in geometry, appearance, and topology. This paper introduces collaborative inverse rendering with persistent homology priors, a …
Inverse RenderingAnalytic Torsion and Spectral Gap Capture Persistent-Laplacian Performance
While persistent Laplacians (PL) offer a richer geometric representation of data than persistent homology, utilizing their full eigenspectrum for learning tasks is often hampered by high dimensionality and the ``varying …
Sparse Approximation of 3D Meshes using the Spectral Geometry of the Hamiltonian Operator
The discrete Laplace operator is ubiquitous in spectral shape analysis, since its eigenfunctions are provably optimal in representing smooth functions defined on the surface of the shape. Indeed, subspaces defined by its…
