Abstract

The infinitesimal version of the construction of Section 12.1.2 provides a metric based on transformations in which the objects can change under the action of diffeomorphisms but also under independent variations. We shall refer to such metrics as metamorphoses [150, 205, 206, 115]. They will result in formulations that enable both object registration and metric comparison.
