• Abstract summary: We propose a framework to transport the vector fields from the original surfaces onto a common domain. The proposed framework enables the computation of statistics on vector fields. It can be applied to different types of vector fields and surfaces, allowing for a large number of high potential applications in medical imaging.

• Abstract: Vectors fields defined on surfaces constitute relevant and useful representations but are rarely used. One reason might be that comparing vector fields across two surfaces of the same genus is not trivial: it requires to transport the vector fields from the original surfaces onto a common domain. In this paper, we propose a framework to achieve this task by mapping the vector fields onto a common space, using some notions of differential geometry. The proposed framework enables the computation of statistics on vector fields. We demonstrate its interest in practice with an application on real data with a quantitative assessment of the reproducibility of curvature directions that describe the complex geometry of cortical folding patterns. The proposed framework is general and can be applied to different types of vector fields and surfaces, allowing for a large number of high potential applications in medical imaging.

Our reconstructions are more accurate in terms of the overall geometry, due to the separation of concerns on topology and geometry.

• Practical applications of metric space magnitude and weighting vectors [8.212024590297894]
  The magnitude of a metric space is a real number that aims to quantify the effective number of distinct points in the space. The contribution of each point to a metric space's global magnitude, which is encoded by the em weighting vector, captures much of the underlying geometry of the original metric space. Surprisingly, when the metric space is Euclidean, the weighting vector also serves as an effective tool for boundary detection.
