Ricci flow embedding for rectifying non-Euclidean dissimilarity data

作者:

Highlights:

• Rectify non-Euclidean similarity data by applying Ricci flow to its kernel embedding.

• Euclidean rectification inflates a piecewise manifold on which the data resides.

• Method iteratively flattens the data manifold by increasing its radius of curvature.

• Experiments on shape analysis highlight some of the strengths and weaknesses of the method.

• Proves effective on the Delft Chicken pieces dataset.
