Modeling an evolution through constrained deformations
Analyzing shapes through large deformations allows to define a metric on a space of shapes (space of curves or surfaces for instance) from a metric on a space of deformations. We built a generic framework to incorporate biological priors in the set of considered deformations and the metric. I will present the notion of deformation modules on which this framework relies and show how it can be used to understand the evolution of biological systems (such as a growth).
