Abstract
The goals of this book are to introduce recent numerical methods motivated by differential geometry and to show how to apply them to various problems in image processing, computer graphics, robotic navigation, and computer vision. The mathematical machinery we build upon sits at a crossroad between many different disciplines like numerical analysis, differential and computational geometry, complexity analysis, topology and singularity theory, calculus of variation, and scale space theory.
