In geodesic shooting, why can an initial velocity determine the whole trajectory?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. Because the geodesic equations, together with the initial condition, propagate the flow
Explanation
In geodesic shooting, the initial velocity and the geodesic equations fix the whole flow. That initial condition propagates the entire trajectory.
Review the concept: LDDMM
LDDMM (Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping) is a registration framework that looks for a smooth diffeomorphic deformation \(\varphi_t\), generated by a vector field \(v_t\), with minimum energy \(E_{\min}\).
\[\begin{gathered}\dot{\varphi}_t=v_t\circ\varphi_t\\\varphi_0=\operatorname{id}\end{gathered}\]
