Abstract:
 
  • In this project, we present a signature for any simple closed curve defined on the genus zero surface. The signature provides a classification for all such curves on surface, which means on one hand, any curve is described by its signature for the comparison purpose, one the other hand, the signature can be used to reconstruct its corresponding curve on the surface. With their Weil-Petersson norms, our signatures provide a metric to numerically measure the difference between curves defined on a surface. This can be extended to the comparison of curves defined on different surface, intuitively measuring how similarly they segment their embedded surfaces.
  • The curves signatures bring vast applications in temporal data or deformation series. For example, they can be used for automatic feature curves matching between two surfaces, also, feature curves transfer from one surface to another can be easily fulfilled by constructing feature curves on surface using precomputed signatures.
