By using basic tools in linear algebra and multivariate calculus, readers can deduce all the major theorems in surface Ricci flow by themselves. The authors adapt the Ricci flow theory to practical computational algorithms, apply Ricci flow for shape analysis and surface registration, and demonstrate the power of Ricci flow in many applications in medical imaging, computer graphics, computer vision and wireless sensor network. Due to minimal pre-requisites, this book is accessible to engineers and medical experts, including educators, researchers, students and industry engineers who have an interest in solving real problems related to shape analysis and surface registration. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in mathematics. 606 $aRicci flow 606 $aEvolution equations 615 0$aRicci flow. 615 0$aEvolution equations. 676 $a516.362 700 $aZeng$b Wei$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058661 702 $aGu$b Xianfeng David 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438029703321 996 $aRicci Flow for Shape Analysis and Surface Registration$92501420 997 $aUNINA
