Abstract:
The paper researches on the comparison of two metrics methods under Riemannian metric and under Log-Euclidean metric respectively. Firstly, Experiments are done for comparing the distance and mean values worked out under the two metrics. And the time required for computing under these two metrics is also shown. Lastly, the two methods are applied to the field of image tracking. The performance of the two methods is compared, and the time required for tracking each frame is gained. Experiments results show that the two methods can gain similar distance and mean values, and similar tracking resu

In this paper we introduce the notion of geodesically complete Lie algebroid. We give a Riemannian distance on the connected base manifold of a Riemannian Lie algebroid.

We obtain Hopf Rinow type theorem in the case of transitive Riemannian Lie algebroid, and give a characterization of the connected base manifold of a geodesically complete Lie algebroid.

A geometric conception is a method of a geometry construction. The Riemannian geometric conception and a new T-geometric one are considered. T-geometry is built only on the basis of information included in the metric (distance between two points). Such geometric concepts as dimension, manifold, metric tensor, curve are fundamental in the Riemannian conception of geometry, and they are derivative in the T-geometric one. T-geometry is the simplest geometric conception (essentially, only finite point sets are investigated) and simultaneously, it is the most general one. It is insensitive to the s

The Alpha Group is an abstract geometry group in R4. The way it was conceived allows a new interpretation of the structure of hypercomplex space with a new geometry and spatial topology, and a meaning for the geometric representation of R4 space to infinity.

It will be shown that the Riemannian and Euclidean distance metrics between infinitesimal surfaces are represented as special cases of the metric of the Alpha group.

&#x0D; If a non-reversible Finsler norm is the sum of a reversible Finsler norm and a closed 1-form, then one can uniquely recover the 1-form up to potential fields from the boundary distance data.

Our theorems generalize Riemannian boundary rigidity results to some non-reversible Finsler manifolds. We provide an application to seismology where the seismic wave propagates in a moving medium.

Abstract:
Let (Y, g) be a compact connected n-dimensional Riemannian manifold and let () be its universal cover endowed with the pulled-back metric. If y ∈ , we definewhere B(y, R) denotes the ball of radius R around y in . It is a well known fact that this limit exists and does not depend on y ([Man]). The invariant h(g) is called the volume entropy of the metric g but, for the sake of simplicity, we shall use the term entropy. The idea of recognizing special metrics in terms of this invariant looks at first glance very optimistic. First the entropy, which behaves like the inverse of a distance, is sen

Abstract:
Among the noncompact matrix Lie groups, the special Euclidean group and the unipotent matrix group play important roles in both theoretic and applied studies. The Riemannian means of a finite set of the given points on the two matrix groups are investigated, respectively. Based on the left invariant metric on the matrix Lie groups, the geodesic between any two points is gotten. And the sum of the geodesic distances is taken as the cost function, whose minimizer is the Riemannian mean. Moreover, a Riemannian gradient algorithm for computing the Riemannian mean on the special Euclidean group and

Abstract:
In brain–computer interface (BCI)-based motor imagery, the symmetric positive definite (SPD) covariance matrices of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals with discriminative information features lie on a Riemannian manifold, which is currently attracting increasing attention. Under a Riemannian manifold perspective, we propose a non-linear dimensionality reduction algorithm based on neural networks to construct a more discriminative low-dimensional SPD manifold. To this end, we design a novel non-linear shrinkage layer to modify the extreme eigenvalues of the SPD matrix properly, then combine the

We present a Riemannian geometry theory to examine the systematically warped geometry of perceived visual space attributable to the size–distance relationship of retinal images associated with the optics of the human eye. Starting with the notion of a vector field of retinal image features over cortical hypercolumns endowed with a metric compatible with that size–distance relationship, we use Riemannian geometry to construct a place-encoded theory of spatial representation within the human visual system. The theory draws on the concepts of geodesic spray fields, covariant derivatives, geodesic

Abstract:
Is the shortest path from A to B the straight line between them? Your first response might be to think it's obviously so. But in fact you know that it's not quite that straightforward. Your sat-nav knows it's not that straightforward. It asks whether you would like it to find the shortest route or the fastest route, because finding the best path depends on knowing what exactly you mean by ‘long’. Likewise, if you're on a walk in the mountains, there's a good chance you'd rather follow the path around the head of the valley, rather than heading down the steep slope and up the other side.The sam

Abstract:
We use Jacobi field arguments and the contraction mapping theorem to locate Fréchet means of a class of probability measures on locally symmetric Riemannian manifolds with non-negative sectional curvatures. This leads, in particular, to a method for estimating Fréchet mean shapes, with respect to the distance function ρ determined by the induced Riemannian metric, of a class of probability measures on Kendall's shape spaces. We then combine this with the technique of ‘horizontally lifting’ to the pre-shape spheres to obtain an algorithm for finding Fréchet mean shapes, with respect to ρ, of a

A Riemannian-geometry approach for modeling and control of dynamics of object manipulation under holonomic or non-holonomic constraints is presented. First, position/force hybrid control of an endeffector of a multijoint redundant (or nonredundant) robot under a holonomic constraint is reinterpreted in terms of “submersion” in Riemannian geometry. A force control signal constructed in the image space of the constraint gradient is regarded as a lifting (or pressing) in the direction orthogonal to the kernel space.

This paper shows that gravitational results of general relativity (GR) can be reached by using special relativity (SR) via a SR Lagrangian that derives from the corresponding GR time dilation and vice versa. It also presents a new SR gravitational central scalar generalized potential V=V(r,r.,ϕ.), where r is the distance from the center of gravity and r.,ϕ. are the radial and angular velocity, respectively. This is associated with the Schwarzschild GR time dilation from where a SR scalar generalized potential is obtained, which is exactly equivalent to the Schwarzschild metric. Thus, the Prece

The Wasserstein distance, especially among symmetric positive-definite matrices, has broad and deep influences on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and other branches of computer science. In this paper, by involving the Wasserstein metric on SPD(n), we obtain computationally feasible expressions for some geometric quantities, including geodesics, exponential maps, the Riemannian connection, Jacobi fields and curvatures, particularly the scalar curvature. Furthermore, we discuss the behavior of geodesics and prove that the manifold is globally geodesic convex. Finally, we design a

AbstractWe observe that Cheng's Eigenvalue Comparison Theorem for normal geodesic balls [4] is still valid if we impose bounds on the mean curvature of the distance spheres instead of bounds on the sectional and Ricci curvatures. In this version, there is a weak form of rigidity in case of equality of the eigenvalues. Namely, equality of the eigenvalues implies that the distance spheres of the same radius on each ball has the same mean curvature. On the other hand, we construct smooth metrics $g_{\kappa}$ on $[0,r]\times \mathbb{S}^{3}$, non-isometric to the standard metric canκ of constant se

The resulting metric is compatible with voice-leading satisfying the triangle inequality.

Previously, trajectory has been planned by considering position and orientation separately. However, practically we cannot plan separately because the manipulat
