Shape Analysis of Euclidean Curves under Frenet-Serret Framework
Geometric frameworks for analyzing curves are common in applications as they focus on invariant features and provide visually satisfying solutions to standard problems such as computing invariant distances, averaging curves, or registering curves. We show that for any smooth curve in R^d, d>1, the generalized curvatures associated with the Frenet-Serret equation can be used to define a Riemannian geometry that takes into account all the geometric features of the shape. This geometry is based on a Square Root Curvature Transform that extends the square root-velocity transform for Euclidean curves (in any dimensions) and provides likely geodesics that avoid artefacts encountered by representations using only first-order geometric information. Our analysis is supported by simulated data and is especially relevant for analyzing human motions. We consider trajectories acquired from sign language, and show the interest of considering curvature and also torsion in their analysis, both being physically meaningful.

Euclidean and Affine Curve Reconstruction
We consider practical aspects of reconstructing planar curves with prescribed Euclidean or affine curvatures. These curvatures are invariant under the special Euclidean group and the equi-affine groups, respectively, and…

The efficiency of modern computer graphics allows us to explore collections of space curves simultaneously with "drag-to-rotate" interfaces. This inspires us to replace "scatterplots of points" with "scatterplots of curv…
