Geodesic Image Matching: A Wavelet Based Energy Minimization Scheme

In this paper, we first detail the geodesic matching of images which consists in minimizing an energy resulting from a Riemannian metric on a manifold of images, which itself comes from the projection of a Riemannian metric on a deformation group onto the image manifold. We will then present an energy minimization technique based on a wavelet analysis of the deformation and finally some applications with face images and 3D medical data.
